Had We But World Enough

Pretty sterling silver charm necklace symbolizing love, commitment, and magical protection. Primitive locks and keys have been used for thousands of years, beginning with the ancients Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Over time, the key came to symbolize more than protection of personal property and by the Victorian era locks with keys were important symbols of love and commitment - a gift given to symbolically lock the wearer's heart. The mano figa, literally translated as "fig hand" has been added because it is known as a magically protective talisman to ward off evil curses and bad energy.
