If you browse through the range offered by jewelry dealers in the late Victorian period, one thing is particularly striking: That the range was dominated by figurative motifs, which formed a recurring repertoire and were often combined. The arrow, for example, is one of these motifs, as is the horseshoe. Both have been combined in this brooch to create a romantic message. The significance of the arrow is obvious, as it is the famous arrow of Cupid, which strikes the heart and thus awakens love. In this depiction, the horseshoe is responsible for breathing a promise of happiness into the message. The beautiful brooch is made entirely of high-carat gold, with ten natural pearls with a lustrous sheen adorning the horseshoe. This romantic piece of jewelry is beautifully preserved and is all the more suitable as a gift of love in times when its true meaning is only revealed to insiders. We discovered the brooch, which was made in England around 1900, in London. For the present brooch, see for example the goods offered in the catalog of Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company Ltd, London 1901, reproduced in Peter Hinks (ed.): Viktorianischer Schmuck, Hildesheim/Zurich/New York 1996, e.g. p. 51.
