Featured Drawing a bit of a blank for keywords on these 1970s charm necklaces (Occult??)

Can anyone come up with keywords for these? Was going to sell as a lot on Ebay. I think circa 1970s.

Thanks!

 

All relate to attracting good luck, warding off the evil eye. Italian mano fico & cornicello (little horn):

Hamsa/Hand of Fatima, with horseshoe, lucky 13 & four leaf clover. (Held by a skeleton hand?)

 

My thoughts exactly......looks Italian as all getout to me....some-one wants to ward off evil spirits with the horns and wants all the good luck they can get!!!!!!!! BUT, still pretty!!!! And, yeah, what's with the skeleton hand.....an extra kink????

 

The skeleton fits with the 13 charm. I think it's an anti-bad luck necklace. The horseshoe is upside down too.

 

Downright classy compared to this.

Coral Bugs Bunny Pendant 18K Yellow Gold Charm xc good luck for Necklace

 

Lol, Bronwen, I agree!

 

Those are neat. I have never seen anything like that before where the charms are arranged like that.
Yep, that is bad luck to have the horse shoe upside down. At least to me the superstitious gal.

 

Oops... already listed it. I'll leave that upside down horseshoe factoid out, lol!

 

There's actually some debate over the proper way to hang a horseshoe.
Some believe they must be hung with the prongs up "so the luck doesn't run out".
Others believe they must be hung with the prongs down "so good luck spills down on those who pass beneath it", (hence the tradition of nailing one above a doorway.)

 

Hi,
Growing up horseshoes were all hung upright to hold the luck. NEVER heard of pouring good luck out. It was the same as statues of elephants, if trucks were up good luck, trunks down bad luck. Different areas had different ideas.
