Fortuna Mecum: a Customer’s Wish, a Family’s Answer
It all started with a simple conversation in our shop, as often happens at Eredi Jovon.
A long-time customer, curious and warm, looked at our collection and said:
“Everything is beautiful… but don’t you have a lucky horn ring?”
Marco thought about it.
Indeed, something was missing: the Cornicello a symbol so powerful, so deeply Italian, to be worn on the finger every single day.
A talisman that isn’t just pretty to look at, but loaded with meaning.
Everyone thinks of the cornetto as a pendant for a necklace, or maybe as a charm to keep in a pocket.
But why not turn it into a ring?
A piece of jewelry that becomes part of you, visible every day, a constant reminder that luck – sometimes – is something you have to welcome, chase, and wear.
And so Fortuna Mecum was born – “may fortune be with me” – a handcrafted ring that carries with it a wish, a story, and a deep bond with Italian roots.
As Marco often says, we must be humble like Socrates, willing to question ourselves to learn, and curious like Saint Thomas, who wanted to touch in order to believe.
Only then can we truly discover new things. And sometimes, a simple question is enough to spark an idea that stays with you for a lifetime.
So the Horn Necklace actually became a ring!
An Ancient Phrase for Those Who Believe in Destiny
Choosing Fortuna Mecum was no accident.
We were looking for a phrase with an ancient soul, something that had the timeless power of Latin mottos carved in stone – but universal at the same time.
A message that could speak to anyone, quietly yet strongly.
“May fortune be with me” is not a passive hope.
It isn’t a “let’s see if things turn out well.”
It is a declaration of will. It's finding the deepest Meaning of the Horn!
An invitation to be yourself, to move forward for what you want, to create your own fate.
This ring is for those who don’t believe simply on luck, but who put in their mind, their hands, and their heart in the future.
For those who are homo faber fortunae suae – men and women who shape their own destiny through skill, effort, and intuition.
Whether you are a craftsman, an artist, a traveler, or a dreamer… Fortuna Mecum is the emblem of those who believe in doing. Of those who don’t wait for luck – they build it.
Even the typeface chosen for the engraving isn’t a detail: it’s inspired by ancient Roman stone carvings, the inscriptions that have stood for centuries.
A font designed to leave a clear, sharp, lasting mark – both on the metal and on the heart of the one who wears it.
It's the deep meaning of all good luck Italian Charms
Essential Design, Powerful Symbols
The Fortuna Mecum ring stands out for its essential lines and bold personality.
No frills, nothing superfluous – just what is needed to speak with clarity, style, and strength.
Crafted in genuine 925% sterling silver, the lunar metal symbolizing purity, the ring carries two ancient symbols that mirror each other.
On one side, the red enamel cornetto, vibrant like fire, good wine, "lively" like blood and love.
Experience the Italian horn necklace in its purest essence, capturing its most authentic significance.
At its crown, a tiny crown itself – a sign of wealth, abundance, and protection, because those who seek luck already carry their own kind of inner royalty.
On the other side, the iconic mano corno (horned hand), a deeply Italian gesture to ward off misfortune, famously cherished by Ronnie James Dio’s grandmother – who knew a thing or two about protection.
It’s a playful yet heartfelt homage to the wisdom of tradition, which has always offered us small charms when we need them most.
This ring is not just jewelry. It’s a quiet light, a reminder to believe in yourself every day.
Because that light – the real one – is already inside you. You just have to call it out.
And that touch of magic you feel… it isn’t by chance. It’s intentional. It’s been summoned.
A Gift for Those Who Believe in Tomorrow
Fortuna Mecum is the perfect gift for someone starting something new – a job, a journey, a life change.
It is a silent but powerful wish, a message for someone you love… or for yourself, as a reward for the courage to choose, for the path you’ve walked, for the dreams you’ve chased.
It’s a reminder that every effort deserves a reward, that the good we create with our minds and hands will always leave a mark – even if it’s not visible right away.
Whoever wears this ring doesn’t simply wait for luck: they build it.
They represent the best of what it means to be human – looking to the future with generosity, grace, and a good heart.
And when you live like that – with open hands, eyes forward, and a clear soul – luck can’t help but follow.
And it will.
Inevitably.
