18kt yellow gold ring (hallmark: owl), in the shape of a horseshoe entirely set with round rubies whose total weight is estimated at approximately 0.60Ct. Old pin from the 19th century transformed by our Parisian jeweler into a ring. Gross weight: 2.68g Pattern height: 1.80 cm Pattern width: 1.70 cm Finger size: 52 (diameter 16.50/ US 6.00) Condition: very slight micro scratches on the gold parts, slight abrasion and natural inclusions on/in the rubies, see photos. Known for centuries to ward off evil spirits, the origins of the horseshoe as a good luck charm are still a little murky. A legend says that in 969 AD, Saint Dunstan, the patron saint of blacksmiths in the Catholic Church, had the courage to deceive the devil: the latter would have ordered shoes from him, not for his horses, but for his own hooves! Not wanting to work for him, Saint Dunstan decided at the last moment to put irons in his foot with all his might. The pain being unbearable for him, the devil then promised never to stop in a house on the wall of which a horseshoe hung. And a priori it also works when you wear it around your finger ;)! All our old rings.

Authentication & Certification

Charlotte Rey and Anne Borde help individuals who ask themselves a thousand questions when selling their jewelry(s). How much is it worth on the market? Is it solid gold or gold plated? How to identify stones? And, after all, what if it came from a prestigious house?

With the jewel in hand, the founders of Castafiore determine the nature of the materials, the weight of the gold, the carats of the stones, etc. They are also looking for the trace of a hallmark, a sign of a possible renowned jeweler.

This expertise then gives rise to a digital certificate of authenticity registered in the Blockchain (GoodsID), in other words traceable and unfalsifiable; it will accompany the jewel throughout its existence, over the course of its owners.
