Small 18k Gold Italian Horn Charm with Florentine Finish

A small, solid 18k gold Italian horn charm with a satisfying weight. Textured with a Florentine finish, the high carat gold has a luxurious glitter. An oval jump ring has been added to its integrated bale, making it easy to wear the charm on a bracelet or one of our fabulous Ancient Influences married chains. Circa 1960.

The Italian horn, also called cornicello, cornetto, corno, or corno portafortuna, is a traditional Italian talisman. It protects the wearer from malocchio (the evil eye) and bad luck. The horn also promotes fertility and virility. Sounds good to me.

Need a chain? This charm will look great on one of our modern 14k gold rope chains. Find them here.

Details.....The horn measures .18" by 1". In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of the charm.
