Across Southern Italy, you'll see them everywhere — tucked into car mirrors, hung by front doors, worn close at the throat. The red Cornicello Charm is the oldest and truest version of the talisman: a slender twisted horn, glazed in deep coral red, worn to turn away the malocchio - the evil eye - and keep its wearer from harm.
Red is the colour it was always meant to be. The shade is tied to the charm's protective power, which is why the cornicello you spot on a Neapolitan doorway is almost always this same vivid red.
Ours is finished in rich enamel against gold-plated silver, the curve catching the light as it moves. Traditionally the horn is given rather than bought for yourself - passed from one person to another as a small act of looking out for someone. Wear it as a quiet bit of protection, or gift it as exactly that.
Designed to be added to any of our Soru Charm Chain Necklaces, worn alone or layered with others to build your own story. If you'd like to check compatibility with a different chain, just get in touch with our team at customercare@sorujewellery.com.
The red Cornicello Charm comes with the mini clip connector pictured, so it's easy to clip on to your chosen chain.

Our collections are handmade by family-run workshops and artisans in Italy and Turkey. Each piece is unique.
We only make our jewellery in small batches and encourage our customers to only purchase what sparks joy, as to avoid unnecessary returns. Nothing we make is mass produced.
Our jewellery and products are designed in-house at Soru HQ, based on a quiet leafy street in Solihull, UK.
We use natural gemstones and baroque pearls which may contain internal inclusions, irregular edges, uneven surfaces and variations in the colours. No two gems are the same, adding to the beauty and uniqueness of each individual gem.
If you wish to exchange your item for a different shape or colour, please get in touch at customercare@sorujewellery.com. Any return postage costs would be subject to charge. Item availability for exchange will depend on the stock we have remaining.

Use a soft lint free cloth to keep your jewellery looking shiny and tarnish-free.
Store your Soru purchases in a dark, cool and dry place within the box provided. This will reduce tarnishing, scratching and tangling.
When transporting your jewellery, ensure it is kept within a box so no external pressures is accidentally applied that could bend the metal.
Remove jewellery while in water and avoid spraying perfume or applying creams where your jewellery will have contact.
Avoid extreme temperatures, humidity and sunlight. Any contact with perfumes, cosmetics and chemicals will cause discolouration.
Gemstones
Gemstones should never be worn around hot water, harsh chemicals or cleaners.
You can clean most gemstones with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth only. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean as they can cause scratching.
