Antique Czechoslovakia Iris Glass Silver Brooch Pin

An Iris glass rhinestone 850 silver horseshoe pin is a unique and collectible piece jewelry, celebrated for its colorful stones and lucky horseshoe motif. Iris glass rhinestones are renowned for their multicolored appearance mimicking the shimmer of a rainbow. These stones are faceted to maximize their play of light and color. The stones are prong-set in a row along the curve of the horseshoe, creating a vibrant, eye-catching display with blues, greens, reds, and a slight hint of yellow.

Horseshoes symbolize luck and protection, making them a popular motif in jewelry, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This pin features a delicate, openwork horseshoe shape with evenly spaced settings for the rhinestones. .
