A Victorian Sentiment, Reimagined for the Modern Storyteller
In the Victorian era, ordinary coins were taken to a jeweler, ground smooth, and engraved by hand with initials, names, dates, and symbols of devotion. Each love token is a one-of-a-kind antique—a story writ small enough to wear close to your heart.
Centering this petite dime-sized token is the word "MAMA" set across a straight central banner, framed within an arching lucky horseshoe motif. Rendered with deep, textured cross-hatching, nail-hole details, and a rayed zig-zag inner border, the horseshoe was a favored Victorian symbol of protection, good fortune, and enduring devotion. Secured with gold prongs that accentuate its dimensional structure, this small pendant captures a cherished maternal tribute cast in classic 19th-century symbolic iconography.
Shown set in 14k yellow gold with a herringbone-engraved bezel, a solitaire bezel-set diamond, and a diamond pavé bail, also available in the setting of your choice.
