ISSIMO Coral and Gold Necklace

“The design of this necklace reflects the cultural traditions of Ischia, and also of Naples more generally. We see this in elements like the Scaramantico, which has ancient Neapolitan origins. It’s a very unique necklace, and you won’t be able to find others of the same kind,” says our ISSIMO artisan. Created from coral beads interspersed with Cornetti and a feature gold Scaramantico charm, this necklace captures ancient Neapolitan cultural folklore. Shaped like a hand gesture with pointed fingers, the Scaramantico is believed to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune to the wearer, while the Cornetti (or Cornicello) is a powerful amulet of protection.
