Talisman of Love

Heart-Shaped Horseshoes, 'Unicorn Shoes'

Blacksmith Forged by GILL & SON | Ideal for weddings | anniversaries | a talisman of love.

Hand forged from a single bar of mild steel (99% iron); these miniature shoes (9cm sq.) have been forged in the time-honoured fashion, giving each shoe its own unique appearance and character.

As each blow is struck, the metal deforms and it is only through the blacksmiths skill and experience, acquired by years of repetition that an even consistency is achieved. 

Blacksmiths are lucky, iron is lucky and horseshoes are lucky, and the heart shape, well that is synonymous with love!

Forged by a Nottinghamshire blacksmith these shoes take on the shape of the silphium seed, an ancient plant used as both an aphrodisiac and a contraceptive. 

As a talisman of love and a good luck charm ‘Unicorn Shoes’ can make unmatched gifts particularly where affairs of the heart are concerned.

We like them, I hope you do too.
