Well, it’s alright. You‘re probably just a youngin, a wee bairn.
(Not that I am so old, mind you.)
Who here wears a necklace or chain?

Glad I'm not the only one who hates wearing a ring. My wedding ring has always drove me nuts. My wife says it's okay if I don't wear it, but she says it in that tone that makes me think she actually doesn't want me to take it off. I can't wear a chain either. Not even a wrist watch.

I had some kind of cross medallion when I was about 9. It looked pretty groovy with my velour turtleneck and orange corduroy pants.

Never. My son does.

Does an ankle monitor count? Uh, asking for a friend.

Someone here had to have had one of those little good luck horn necklaces that were popular in the 70’s/80’s

Unfortunately I do. Had one in 7th grade fall 1966.
I remember!
I had the medallion, I actually still have it, sans chain.
I wanted, but never had the Nehru shirt/jacket.
I got the medallion, and an ID bracelet the same year, 1969.
The idea was to give the bracelet to your crush, so you were “going steady”.
7th grade memorids!

Sorry. I moved out of Rhode Island before it wrapped itself around my neck.

A slim gold chain with a small gold St Christopher medal.
It only comes off when I go in the surf or when medical tests/procedures demand it.

When I was in seventh, I had a Tiki head on a string. With red glass eyes.
Didn't get a Nehru jacket until eleventh or twelfth grade. White. Brass buttons. Got some John Lennon glasses to go with it.
And I was the first guy in my class ('70) to part his hair in the middle.
A goddam fashion plate.
Now my only jewelry is a solar watch. If I forget to leave it on the window sill for a while it stops. You have to sacrifice for style.

Only ever saw it on Italian heritage friends.

I’ve heard it called an Italian horn before
They seemed pretty popular
Apparently they protect from “the evil eye”

I always thought it was a representation of a bull’s pizzle and was a sexual potency charm.

I gave my wife a locket as her wedding present; she gave me a gold cross. 31.85 years later I'm still wearing it. I only take it off when I go in the ocean, where rough surf or barracuda might be bad for it.
Mine is very tiny. It's a small sterling silver acoustic guitar on an even smaller SS chain. I lost my wedding ring in the mid '90s and my wife and daughter bought this as a replacement. I've been wearing it for somewhere between 25 and 30 years. I can't believe it's lasted this long but maybe it was just meant to be.
