Cornicello

Michael, USA

The cornicello is an Italian symbol used to keep away the evil eye. This glass bead would show two cornicelli...one on each side, in bright red. Each is topped with a yellow crown. And in the center of each crown, a small cubic zirconia, to help add sparkle. The background is a rich black, with metallic gold additions, to help this simple, but powerful good luck charm really pop.

The Designer

Michael, USA

My name is Michael Nylander, and I have a disability known as Strumpell Lorrain Syndrome, which makes it difficult for me to walk, and has me requiring the use of a walker. Still though, I do not let this stand in my way. I am the type of person that is always making others happy, and always reaching for my dreams, no matter what. I feel it is always important to reach for ones dreams, and to not let anything hold us back. Life is an adventure. And that adventure can be wonderful, if we always remember to reach for our dreams.
