Vintage 18ct Gold Cornicello Necklace
Italian textured cornicello pendant dating from the 1980s. Offered on a period box link chain, both crafted in 18 carat gold. The cornicello (aka cornetto, corno, corno portafortuna, or horn of plenty) is a powerful protective amulet keeping the owner safe from the Evil Eye (and all forms of general bad luck). They've also been worn for centuries to promote fertility, virility, and strength. All round potent stuff.
Era: Vintage, circa 1980
Size: 29mm by 5.7mm

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
