Doppio Italian Horn Earrings in Sterling Silver or 18k Gold Over Silver

If you're Italian, you already know. And if you're not, keep reading 'cause you're about to find out. It’s not a chilli pepper; it’s the Cornicello or Italian Horn. The Corno is given as a gift for protection, even if the gift is from you. It provides protection for the wearer from the "Malocchio," or the evil eye - this superstition dates back thousands of years predating even Rome. It is shaped after a bull's horn, which for Italians symbolizes good luck and protection for one's self and family. Usually, one is worn on a necklace. However, I wanted to spice things up as a pair of earrings each sporting a pair of Cornos, so you get four times the protection at one great price! Available as sterling silver or 18k gold over silver.
