About the Item

This charming Victorian equestrian piece is a rare and exquisite collection of silver and gold charms, each meticulously crafted to represent elements essential to horse riding. These individual charms are suspended from a split ring, making them both decorative and symbolic. The following charms are attached to the split ring: an engraved gold saddle, a gold bridle, a silver horse head, a silver equestrian glove, a gold stirrup, a gold engraved pistol used as a pocket watch key, a silver horseshoe, a gold bucket and a gold equestrian helmet with whip. Together, these charms create a rich tapestry of Victorian equestrian life, with each piece telling a story of the bond between rider and horse, the elegance of the sport, and the meticulous care involved. The split ring allows these charms to move and jingle slightly, adding a dynamic quality to the pieces, which would have been cherished as both a functional item and a fashionable accessory. The charms all have different sizes, the split ring has a diameter of approximately 15 mm and has a total weight with charms of 8.93 grams. See image for charms and split ring size in mm.
