Horseshoe diamond pendant

It all comes down to the mix of meaning and craftsmanship. Horseshoes have been symbols of luck and protection for centuries. Some believe they keep bad energy away, while others simply love the cheerful reminder of good fortune. Either way, wearing one feels a little bit magical.

Then there’s the design. This isn’t a bulky horseshoe — it’s finely shaped, modern and clean. Each curve is carefully pavé-set with natural diamonds that catch the light with every move. The diamonds form a continuous line of sparkle, so there are no dull spots. Many pendants rely on a single centre diamond, but here you get a cascade of brilliance all the way around.

We also use solid white gold, never plated or low-grade alloys. This means your pendant holds its fresh, bright finish for years, resisting tarnish and scratches better than many cheaper pieces. All up, it’s a lucky charm — but one that looks unmistakably elegant and grown-up.

Great question — and the answer is you can absolutely wear it daily. We crafted this pendant in solid white gold, so it’s durable enough for regular life. The pavé diamonds are securely set, meaning you won’t have to worry about them loosening with normal wear.

That said, we always recommend taking off fine jewellery if you’re hitting the gym, diving into a pool, or scrubbing with harsh chemicals. Chlorine, salt and strong cleaners can dull both diamonds and gold over time. For everything else, your pendant is good to go.

The best part? It’s versatile. The clean horseshoe shape and neat line of diamonds look understated for work meetings or school runs. But the sparkle levels up instantly for dinners, parties or more formal events. That’s why so many of our clients tell us it’s the pendant they end up reaching for the most.

The beauty of this piece is it plays well with almost anything. For simple day looks, try it on its own with a V-neck tee, button-down shirt or even a high-neck knit. The bright white gold and diamonds pop against neutral fabrics, giving you instant polish.

Want to dial things up? Try layering. Because the chain sits just at the collarbone, you can add longer white gold chains or diamond station necklaces to build a chic, effortless stack. The horseshoe also looks fantastic paired with stud earrings or small diamond hoops — enough sparkle to turn heads, but still balanced.

For colour, you’re not limited either. This pendant holds its own with jewel tones, pastels or classic monochrome. If you’d like fresh ideas, check out how our clients style theirs on Instagram. You’ll see it worn everywhere from casual cafes to black-tie galas.

Looking after it is easier than you might think. At home, mix warm water with a tiny drop of gentle dish soap. Let the pendant soak for five to ten minutes. This loosens any oils or daily grime. Then use a super-soft toothbrush (even a baby toothbrush works) to lightly scrub around the diamonds and along the inside curve.

Rinse it well under lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Try not to use tissues or paper towels — they can leave fine scratches on gold over time.

When you’re not wearing it, tuck your pendant into a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box compartment. This keeps it from knocking against harder gems that could cause tiny abrasions. Also, bring it into our Sydney boutique once or twice a year. We’ll professionally clean it, check the pavé setting and give it a polish so it keeps sparkling like new. You can easily book a care visit online.

It comes down to trust, quality and the little details. At Ernesto Buono, we hand-select every diamond for brilliance and clarity. Many chain stores settle for commercial-grade stones that look flat under certain lights. We won’t. The difference is obvious the moment you see it sparkle on your neck.

We also craft each pendant locally, right here in Sydney, using solid white gold — not thin plating that might wear off. Our pavé setting is done under a microscope for precision, so you get diamonds that sit securely and catch the light evenly.

Beyond that, we care about personal service. Need help layering it with other pieces? Want honest advice on length or chain style? Or maybe you’re after matching earrings? We’re here for all of it. It’s why so many clients keep returning for birthdays, anniversaries or just to treat themselves. They trust us to deliver fine jewellery that’s beautifully made and meant to last.
