Everyone needs an amulet or three. Each of these is steeped in age old symbolism, with roots in Italy.

Antique 10k Gold Mano Cornuta (left): The “horned hand” wards off the evil eye and misfortune. This particular “mano cornuta” is most unusual in that it is an antique watch key, rendered in 10k gold, suspended from a faceted gold split ring. Quite a unique find.

Vintage 18k Gold Cornicello (center): A classic Italian horn or “cornicello” pendant is, traditionally worn for protection and good luck. This one is quite a nice size.

Antique Coral and 18k Gold Figa (right): Symbolizing fertility, abundance, and protection against the evil eye, this saturated antique coral fig is capped in rich gold.
