Luck, with a little sparkle held in the middle. This 14k yellow gold ring takes the shape of a horseshoe: a wide face with a brushed, textured finish and polished recessed panels where the nail holes would be, with a round brilliant-cut diamond of about 0.20 carat set in four prongs inside the curve.

Turned over, the nail holes go right through the shoe, a nice bit of honesty from the maker. Whether a horseshoe should point up to hold its luck or down to pour it out is an argument we will leave to the wearer.
