Rich Vintage Mano Cornuto Charm 10k Gold Chain:18" sparkling diamonds catch the lightAn ancient Italian symbol, the mano cornuto (mano=hand corno=horn) is one of several gestures meant to protect from malocchio, the the evil eye. The evil eye was thought to particularly target mothers and babies, men's sperm, and fruit bearing trees forces of life! The gesture was to be performed with fingers pointing down, unless your intention was to offend instead of protect. Very good vintage condition with wear in line with age and use. Details:
