The Carolina Bread & Salt Vial Charm Necklace
The Carolina Bread & Salt Vial Charm Necklace
The Carolina Glass Vial is filled with bread and salt to ward off malocchio. As a child, there wasn’t an Italian wedding or funeral attended past 1989 without my mom shoving a small saran wrap bag of salt and a pinch of Auddino’s bread down my pocket. My great grandmother Conti taught her that even those closest to your heart can cast you the illest harm. I wear this necklace to protect me from my own naivety and eagerness to dish out unearned trust in others.
-Sterling silver chain measures 28”
-Glass vial measures 1”
-Lobster claw clasp
I make these sterling silver necklaces with Auddino’s bread (because there wasn’t an in-town Italian gathering with out it) and pink Himalayan salt.
