Synonymous with luck this luxurious horseshoe ring would make a perfect stacking ring to sit along with your other jewels. Dating to late 19th century era this is a particularly exquisite example!

The horseshoe often seen hanging over the entrance of a home, given to a newlywed couple, or worn as jewellery, horseshoes are thought to bring good luck and protection.

The central focus of this ring is a substantial horseshoe. Into this has been centrally placed a hand craved bloodstone. The intaglio depicts, a chapeau a martlet, encircled by a strap and buckle, containing the motto ‘Penetravi nubes‘. The Latin motto translates to ‘I have penetrated the clouds‘ and usually symbolises the wearer status as someone who rises above, sees clearly through obscurity.

Remarkably this horseshoe has been set into a graduated chain band; very rare! The links are soft and rounded making it lovely and comfortable to wear. The back of the band may have been extended historically the with the used of finer wider links.

Great Quality Natural Fabric Dress
Size: X-Large, Color: White
This dress was everything the reviews said - nice weight, well made, and great fabric. The suggested size matched my usual size, and it fit like a glove. That said, there was no extra room, and the fabric has no stretch. I’m 5'9" and prefer long dresses to be closer to ankle length, but this one hit at an awkward length on me. For the price, it wasn’t worth keeping, though I do think it’s fairly priced for the quality. Nowadays it’s hard to find clothing in cotton or cotton/linen blends, so I really appreciate that it’s not made from synthetic fabric.

Disappointing second one with a damaged zipper
Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Green
This is maybe the 5th Drop linen dress I have purcahsed different version for my two girls and I and this is the second one I have received with a damaged zipper. It is disappointing they fit well and are well made . I am not sure if the last two I have received were returned items.

Nice quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Very nice fit and material. I’m a size 14 & the XXL fits well - maybe a tad bit big, but I didn’t want it to be fit uncomfortably tight either. My only complaint is that the side zipper gets stuck right where the pocket is. But I am able to put the dress on without having to open & close the Ipper.

Gorgeous
Size: Large, Color: Black
I bought 2 of these dresses, they are adorable. They are well made, fully lined, quality product. They fit so well and will be flattering on any figure. I’m 5’10”, the length is perfect. Well below the knee. A classic fit and cut

Flattering fit, great feel, totally worth it
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I had to squeeze my girls in, but I made it work, lol! This was my first time shopping from The Drop and I was so suprised by the quality. It's definitely a heavy dress but I really love how it feels and fits on my body. For context, I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2", 155 lbs, 36DD, and 30in waist. It's tight on my bust but comfortable around my hips and waist, which isn't a big deal. The side zipper kills me though lol so beware, lots of twisting to get that thing shut. BUT still worth it. great dress.
