Sculptural and ornate, the cornicello is an Italian amulet featuring a twisted horn shape to protect against the curse of the evil eye and bad luck, as well as promote strength and fertility. Traditionally red and made out of coral, we have redesigned tradition, creating our own cornicello out of lapis. Lapis was used by the Egyptians and Babylonians for amulets to protect against the evil eye.

A diamond-adorned cap crafted from 18k yellow gold clutches a sculpturally carved twisted horn of turquoise. This charm comes on a hinge bail that opens up and can be attached to any chain.

Note that Cornicello Amulets contain exposed gemstones, which can break when dropped from a height or hit on a hard surface.

Care Considerations:

-Always put on your jewelry over a soft surface in case you accidentally drop it

-Avoid contact with chlorinated and salt water; they can cause erosion and pitting

-Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, harsh household chemicals, and extreme temperatures
