Buy An Italian Horn Necklace, Pendant or Charm Online

The corno, cornuto, or cornicello is a horn necklace that is based on the origin of Italy. In Italian, corno means “horn”, and cornicello means “little horn. It was said to be an amulet to protect the wearer from the “evil eye”, which is another name for a sickness transmitted by a person who intentionally gives it to the person. It is dangerous and contagious to anyone who looks at it. The Evil Eye harms nursing mothers, the sperm of men, etc, the “Forces of Generation”. Italian horns are often carved out of pure gold, silver, and a special red material, and have been worn by people for centuries. The red symbolizes the victory over enemies, and they are the most common. Rarer silver or even gold amulets mean the same, but the color doesn’t represent anything in particular.

Italian horns are usually wavy, not completely curved like a sheep horn or goat horn but rather like the twisted horn of an African eland or something similar. Originally the gently twisted horn shaped amulet were made look very much like a natural animal horn, but today they are rather stylized and look a lot less like a real animal horn. You can probably buy cornicelli at any Itallian jewelry store since it is a regionally popular amulet. They are usually carved out of red coral or made of gold or silver.
