Handmade in Italy
Since 1934, Eredi Jovon has been creating classy jewels on the Rialto Bridge in Venice that have interpreted the tastes that have followed one another over the last hundred years.
This Italian good luck charm is proudly Made in Italy, drawing from the ancient Roman tradition that has set and made our country renowned worldwide for its refined taste and deep love of beauty.
Handmade why? Today, saying that a product of any kind is created by the skilled hands of a craftsman is almost a declaration of war. In fact, no one believes it anymore. But here everything is done as it was a hundred years ago: with love, respect and passion for the past but with an eye towards the future.
Horn Necklace Description
The cornicello is created according to the dictates of Italian superstition, making it a powerful amulet:
1- it is red (in this case a part is applied with processing called “fired enamels” that respects tradition (they make it red) and at the same time makes it very durable. Red is the color of love, wine, good blood (as we say in Italy) and after all, it is the color of life!
Red also invokes positive forces that increase physical health.
2- it is twisted because life is fraught with pitfalls and is never straight and easy
3- it is made of 18-karat gold: the most precious of metals, a symbol of wealth and economic well-being.
We offer two sizes: the small one is more suitable for a bracelet, the regular one is more suitable for a necklace (but nothing prohibits a more comfortable and congenial use of this amulet for you)
The Symbolism of the Horn
The horn has been a symbol of protection against the Evil Eye for centuries. Its historical roots can be found in Ancient Rome but some think traces of this talisman can be found as far back as the Neolithic period when our ancestors used animal horns as weapons and as symbols of power. In this post of our Blog you can read about the origins of the Italian Horn Necklace.
Through the centuries this good luck charm has become a true symbol of Italian-ness and has been exported all over the world.
The cornicello, once activated with a specific ritual, actively protects its owner and brings a lot of benefits such as: health, love, virility and money.
Some even say that if it breaks it has really brought good luck by absorbing negative energies and should be changed as soon as possible so as not to leave the person, who needs it, uncovered.
The Materials for our Horn Necklaces
The materials we use for our Italian Good luck charms are the traditional ones: 18 kt yellow gold, Italian red coral and high quality silver (925%).
The apotropaic value depends on the material used to create the amulet.
Each material therefore has its own characteristics and peculiarities that serve a certain purpose:
1 - Yellow gold brings wealth and economic well-being
2- Red coral (perhaps the most iconically Italian material) will grant you health and physical strength.
3 - Silver will reflect malevolent and envious glances back to the sender.
To be functional these amulets must feature high quality materials: Eredi Jovon chooses high quality raw materials directly from the source creating high quality jewelry.
Care Instructions
The care of your good luck italian Cornicello depends greatly on the material from which it is made:
1 - If the horn is made of gold, it really needs very little maintenance (avoid SPAs and sulfur water)
2 - If the hornlet was created from silver, much depends on the quality of the rhodium plating. Basically it is a bit more delicate than the yellow gold one.
3 - If the cornetto napoletano is made of red coral. Treat it with care because this material is very delicate and should be respected as you would respect your favorite dress. Would you take a shower or go swimming in your hundreds of euros designer shirt?
