In 14 karat yellow gold.
In the form of a horseshoe with the number 13 at its center.
13 is considered lucky in Italian culture - in large part because the football betting pool Totocalcio allowed a maximum of 13 bets from 1950 - 2004. This cultural phenomenon became integrated into the Italian lexicon as "fare tredici" (lit. to 'make 13') became the commonly used exclamation for "I hit the jackpot!" or "I got lucky!".
With an integral bail and jump ring.
Simply a wonderful auspicious Italian gold charm or pendant!
