Fetish NECKLACE--8 Vintage Charms to Bring you LUCK--GRIS GRIS
GRIS GRIS FETISH NECKLACE--8 interesting vintage charms dangle from a satin cord. Assembled with the appearance of having been added over time, each charm was chosen for its character and "gris gris".
"Gris-gris (gris-gris)
In Vodoun, or Voodoo, gris-gris resemble charms or talismans which are kept for good luck or to ward off evil."
The Fetishes: an antique skeleton key, a sterling unicorn, an old rhinestone buckle, a silverplate baby spoon from England, a 1942 French coin, a pewter pentagon, an old religious medal, and a rosy pink crystal. Most are attached to an old, adjustable cat ring.
18" drop from back of neck to bottom of longest charm.
Each of my pieces is made with vintage, antique and/or "found" objects, and is therefore unique and absolutely original--not to mention environmentally friendly!
Your treasure will arrive safely boxed in a recycled Kraft box, tied up with re-usable ribbon.

Excerpt from Jimmy Buffet's LOVE and LUCK:
By: jimmy buffett, j. beroard, j.c. naimro 1988
Everybody needs a little good luck charm
A little gris gris keeps you safe from harm
Rub yours on me, and I'll rub mine on you
Luckiest couple on the avenue
Chorus:
With a little love and luck
You will get by
With a little love and luck
We'll take the sky
In this mangled modern world
You've got to try
Try a little love and luck
And you'll get by
