Europe and the Americas

Lucky horseshoe charm

An iron horseshoe hung over a door is one of the oldest luck charms in Europe and the Americas. Iron was thought to ward off mischief, and a horseshoe hung points-up keeps luck from running out.

Ours is weathered iron with brass accents on a leather strap. It's the heaviest charm in the collection, so it swings slowly and settles quickly.

Its ritual is a turn on the cord with a small metallic clink.
