Symbolic Meaning:
This stunning bangle is elegantly crafted in Sterling Silver and features a Horseshoe symbol.  Horseshoes are a symbol of good luck and protection from any kind of evil including the “evil eye”.  The symbol is popular within Egyptian illustrations and is also featured in Islamic art.  There is a superstition that the “U” shape should be pointed upwards so as to keep the good luck from spilling out.  The crescent shape is thought to make this symbol magical.  There is an old story that speaks of a blacksmith who was charged with the task of making shoes for the devil’s hooved feet.  He acquiesced and affixed the horse shoes to the devil’s feet.  However, they were painfully uncomfortable and the devil urged the blacksmith to remove them.  The blacksmith agreed but only after making the devil promise not to enter the home of anyone who had a horseshoe displayed.   For many, this symbol of protection is used to ward off negative energy.  For some, the thinking is that the shoe does a great job protecting the horse, so by extension it should do the same for people.  Whatever your reason for wearing this beautiful piece, may protection and prosperity be yours for now and always…©
