In this section, we present our collection of good luck horn charms in silver.
Among ancient civilizations, silver was sometimes considered more precious than gold. In certain cases, like in Ancient Egypt, its rarity made it even more desirable and expensive. Its value was not only aesthetic but also symbolic, as it was associated with the moon, the feminine, and protection.
Italian Horn Necklaces from Eredi Jovon
First and foremost, we want to highlight that we use only top-quality silver — the kind so pure it could slay vampires and werewolves :)
The silver we use is, in fact, the purest type commonly known as “sterling,” marked with the 925 stamp. This high percentage of silver gives the jewelry its beautiful shine and brilliance.
If silver is high quality, bright and shining it will work like a mirror bouncing bad luck far from you.
Since 1934 Eredi Jovon creates the cornicello by hand respecting the tradition of the real Made in Italy. The traditional Italian horn necklace that you buy in Venice from us, must be twisted, sharp-tipped, red (in case of coral or enamels) and usually gifted (but you can also make a gift yourself).
But let’s go in deep with this lucky charm in this silver option
The Meaning and History of the Italian Horn
Why the traditional horn protective amulet in silver? Works a s well as the golden one?
The silver Italian horn necklace has antique roots in Italian history, symbolizing protection, white lunar energy, and the power to ward off evil.
Its pointed shape and its shining reflects negativity, sending it back to its source, making it a mighty symbol of defense and spiritual resilience.
Silver is a truly special material: among all metals, it is the most reflective and is still used today to create mirrors, optical instruments, and telescopes for observing the stars. When finely polished, it reflects light beautifully, making it one of the best tools for deflecting envy and sending the “Evil eye” back to its malevolent sender.
So again: “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say, bounce on me and sticks on you!”
Again the apotropaic power of silver boost the horn shape bringing luck closer to you and keeping at the same time envy and malevolent person far from you.
Silver has always been associated with purity, elegance, and femininity, as it is linked to the moon—symbol of white light and nocturnal glow.
