Inspired by the Italian folklore charm known as the Cimaruta, this pair of earrings combines multiple hand carved symbols to create one Portafortuna - the ultimate good luck charm. Six different symbols pivot on an ear wire and are finished with a hand carved Ebony wood drop.
These earrings showcase strength in the idea of wearing jewelry as an amulet – that it imbues a feeling of protection and empowerment. Each charm reminds the wearer of a greater idea.
