Portafortuna Earrings

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. An archway hinges on a sprig of an olive branch, which then holds a moon, serpent, sacred heart, key, eagle and fish.  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.  Crescent moon: lunar energy/power, creativity and intuition Ouroboros serpent: life cycle of all things/ new beginnings Sacred heart: compassion, devotion, love & empathy Key: symbol of crossroads with opening and closing powers Eagle/bird: vigilance, perspective and watchful guardianship Fish: good health, prosperity and abundance  Details 14 Karat Yellow Gold or Sterling Silver 9 white brilliant diamonds (0.08 ctw) Satin finish 2.5" long from top of ear wire to bottom of the charms
