One of the most powerful and enduring symbols, the horseshoe has been revered throughout history for its ability to attract good luck and offer protection. At Morgana Sanderson we have captured this rich tradition in our horseshoe necklace, a piece that carries deep symbolism.

The Legend of Dunstan and the Devil: Origins of the Horseshoe Power

The legend of the horseshoe as a symbol of protection has its roots in a fascinating story dating back to the 10th century. According to tradition, Dunstan, a talented blacksmith who later became Archbishop of Canterbury, was visited in his workshop by the Devil, who appeared disguised as a cunning man.

The Devil, unaware of Dunstan's intuition and faith, asked for a horseshoe for his helmet. Dunstan, recognising the true identity of his client, decided to act cunningly. He chained the Devil to the wall and forged a particularly painful horseshoe, with a sharpened shaft, which he drove into the infernal visitor's leg. Only when the Devil swore never to enter a house with a horseshoe hanging on the door did Dunstan release him.

Since then, the horseshoe has become a symbol of the victory of good over evil and a talisman of protection hung on doors to keep evil spirits at bay and attract good fortune.

The use of horseshoes in jewelry is not only a modern trend, but a continuation of this centuries-old tradition. Horseshoes have been incorporated into rings, bracelets and especially necklaces.

Our horseshoe necklace, designed with delicacy and detail, is not only a fashion accessory, but a timeless amulet of protection and good luck. Whether worn as an accessory or as a personal talisman, this necklace carries with it the promise of safeguarding the wearer and attracting positive energies.
