Fingers Crossed

 The sacred Mushroom

The fingers are crossed

Fingers crossed necklace pendant – handmade and recycled coins

These lovely crossed fingers measure approx 20mm * 8mm. I handcraft these from silver coins, copper half penny and bronze thru-net bit coins.  The choice is yours…

In the early days of Christianity, Christians were persecuted for their beliefs. To recognize fellow Christians, people developed a series of hand gestures, one of which involved forming the ichthys, or fish symbol, by touching thumbs and crossing index fingers. This doesn’t fully explain how luck initially became associated with the gesture, but it does posit that the solo finger cross developed during the bloody Hundred Years War by soldiers eager for anything that might curry God’s favor. As the gesture evolved, people used it not just for God’s favour or luck, but to ward off evils and illnesses, among other things. These days, you don’t even have to cross your fingers, with many simply saying “fingers crossed” or “I’ve got my fingers crossed for you,” or typing an fingers crossed emoji as a way to say “good luck.”

Size : 20 mm * 8 mm

*** Other charms in the pictures such as stars,butterfly, oak leaves, acorns are to illustrate the various looks and combinations. They are available separately within the collection. ***
