Vintage Gold Cornicello bangles the scarabA vintage gold cornicello charm dating from the 1980s. It's big, it's Italian, and it's a great example of the style. The cornicello (aka cornetto, corno, corno portafortuna, or horn of plenty) is a powerful protective amulet keeping the owner safe from the Evil Eye (and all forms of general bad luck). They've also been worn for centuries to promote fertility, virility, and strength. All round potent stuff. Era: Vintage, circa 1980 Size: 4. 0cm
