14K SOLID GOLD & FLEUR DE LYS ENGRAVED ITALIAN HORN

Mama Bijoux founder, Katie Miller, draws on her Italian heritage with the design of our 14K Solid Gold Italian Horn Pendants, inspired by the Cornicello—a traditional symbol believed to bring good fortune and ward off negative energy. The pendant featuring the Fleur De Lys engraving adds an extra layer of meaning, as this historic emblem represents nobility, strength, and protection. This design is especially personal to Katie. Her grandfather Tony, with whom she was very close, wore a solid gold Italian horn on a chain every day.

MÉDAILLE DE LA MAMAN

Our Médaille de la Famille Française (Mother’s Medal) is a badge of honor awarded to mothers in France since the early 1900s.
