Custode Unisex Bracelet
Everything on my website is HAND MADE, in-house (unless otherwise notated), so please ALLOW 4-6 WEEKS for delivery of your order.
Woven leather and polished real garnet beads, with Italian+Sicilian portfortunas (good luck charms): a silver Byzantine coin, a red enameled cornuto, and a Mano Figa. “Custode” means guardian in Italian.
Unisex, stylish, minimalist, and easy to put on by yourself (the clasp is magnetic!)
*The cornutos, shaped like a horn or chili pepper, is still popular in Southern Italy around Naples, Calabria and in the rest of Mezzogiorno (southern Italy). In Calabria and Naples this charm is worn as jewelry, hung on rear view mirrors, hung in shop windows, on key rings, and on t-shirts. The cornetto is a symbol of virility (obvious with its phallic shape), but it also brings luck, wealth, success— and can also used by women. A similar magical horn of plenty was carried by the Roman Goddess Abundantia to represent abundance, and many think the cornuto has its roots in ancient Roman times.
