Vintage Gold Corna Charm

This little 14k gold corna charm is a powerfully potent talisman. The hand wears an ornate cuff. The piece is three dimensional, with great detail and a large bale. Try hanging it from one of our fabulous Ancient Influences married chains. Circa 1950.

The sign of the horns, sometimes called corna in Italian, is a traditional symbol in many cultures. It is apotropaic, protecting the wearer from the evil eye, negative energy and bad luck. It is a symbol also associated with Heavy Metal music, not due to any association with the devil as popularly believed, but because Ronnie James Dio used the gesture to bless Black Sabbath fans. He had learned it from his grandmother. Sounds good to me.

Details.....The pendant measures 0.95" by 0.26". In Excellent Vintage condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of the charm.
