History of the Italian Horn Amulet

The Italian Horn, or better known as "Corno" (horn) or "Cornicello" (little horn), are historically worn as good luck amulets in Italian culture.

The horn of an animal is said to symbolize strength, as it is many a times a weapon for animals. When wearing the Cornicello as an amulet, it is said that the horn protects against the evil eye and, in turn, brings good luck to the wearer.

The Cornicello is popularly made with a red horn, or with gold and silver. At Legacy Saint Jewelry, we carry a wide variety of Cornicellos and Cornos including yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, sterling silver, and a variety of enamel colors.
