Il Corno (the Horn) is the most popular Italian good luck charm. This gently twisted horn-shaped amulet has its roots in antiquity and is still widely worn in Italy today to protect against the evil eye and bring good fortune. Handcrafted using traditional Murano glass-making technique and uniquely designed by Murano glass masters, our elegant Venetian version of Il Corno is a pendant suspended from a simple black cord, which promises to bring its wearer good luck, wealth, and ward off evil forces. Even if you don't believe in good luck charms, this lovely pendant makes a sophisticated and ethnic addition to any jewelry collection.
Measurements: This Murano Glass pendant measures 1.5 inches in length. It comes suspended from a thin 18-inch silk cord, with an attractive velvet pouch, and the certificate of authenticity.
Because each item is a unique work of art made by hand, slight variations of colors and patterns are possible.

These are beautiful. They are going to make wonderful Christmas gifts for my sisters. Being of Italian descent, they will live these to wear with their other horns.

Workmanship
Lampworking technique of glass-making, which dates back to ancient Egypt, was revived by Murano glass artisans around the fourteenth century. This technique is based on heating up a blob of glass under a small flame from a lamp or a torch until it reaches malleable state, then blowing and using simple tools or just hands to create various forms and designs. Lampworking allows the artisan's creativity to blossom, as copper sparkles, various minerals, and pieces of glass cane are fused together in this process to create rich colors and imaginative patterns that are always unique. Murano Glass masters often use lampworking method to create small jewelry, such as pendants, earrings, or rings, as well as keychains, barrettes, pillboxes, and figurines.
