Exquisite Victorian sticking fashioned from 12K yellow gold, the head in the shape of a horseshoe prong-set with a double row of graduated rose-cut diamonds and cabochon rubies.

Perhaps the jeweler was more interested in matching color than specific cuts. This was not an uncommon practice in the era...
