Looking for a truly unique piece of jewelry with a history? How about this intriguing Nepal “Tengura” Protective Necklace, in which phallic or bullet shaped pieces of bone set into metal bezels that are strung together in a neckband or collar. These collars are believed to contain Apotropaic magic (from Greek apotrepein “to ward off” from apo- “away” and trepein “to turn”) is a type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences, as in deflecting misfortune or averting the evil eye. #tengura #nepal #nepalesejewelry #nepaljewelry #protectivejewelry #protectionnecklace #apotropaic #apotropaicmagic #magic #evileye #protection #vintage #vintagejewelry #statementnecklace #uniquenecklace #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise
