Queen Alexandra wore at least two (and possibly three) horseshoe pendant/brooches:
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, when Duchess of York, wore a small horseshoe brooch in 1927, supposed to be a gift from Queen Mary, according to the information released on this board by our fellow poster PJ Kiser: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1395699571.html As the pictures have disappeared, I hope PJ will not mind if I post them again:
