I came across some horseshoe nail crosses on ebay not too long ago....and thought they had some potential. I purchased a few horseshoe nails, played around and experimented a bit with bending, soldering. They're rather malleable, though it does take some strength to bend them. Now I've added another addition to my website, horseshoe nail jewelry. Bracelets, pendants, earrings.....and more to come, in time! As horseshoe nails are made of steel....I don't recommend wearing or immersing in water, steel will rust....though that being said, I have a customer who has worn his horseshoe nail bracelet every day for two years...even in the shower. The nails have patinaed brown, the silver links offer a beautiful contrast....depends on what you like :). If your horseshoe nail jewelry does need a bit of cleaning or brightening, buff with a bit of fine steel wool.
