The Untamed Traveler's Charm Necklace

A fantastically poignant charm necklace for the irrepressible traveler. Unusual and thick 14k gold link chain with a cluster of symbolic charms to accompany and protect throughout life's journeys. Charms include an 18k gold treasure chest that opens to reveal a cultured pearl, a large 14k gold opposable fish, tiger eye figa charm edged in 14k gold, 14k gold corno charm, a 22k gold 2.5 dollar liberty coin, and a vintage animal tooth charm.

With pieces collected from all over the world, this charm necklace has been curated for those with the urge to fly in the face of convention and follow their natural instinct. 

Fish are Buddhist symbols of happiness and freedom while the found animal tooth represents the parts of the soul that are still wild or untamed, and can resist external pressures to take the “normal” or safe route in life. The gold lady liberty coin has been added as an additional symbol of freedom. Maybe most importantly, two charms have been added for protection – the Italian horn amulet or corno is a portafortuna, meaning lucky charm and is protection against the evil eye, among other nefarious forces. Similarly, the tiger eye mano figa, literally translated as fig hand and in some cultures thought of as an obscene gesture representing the female genitalia, is also a magically protective element to ward off evil curses thought to be caused by the jealousy and envy of others.
