A Wishbone Amulet made from Cotton Calico

Size Approx: L: 7.5cm W: 4cm D: 0.75cm

What better way to make your wish come true than to snap a bird’s clavicle between yours and your friend’s little fingers and winning the bigger piece? Before this odd little bone breaking ritual was popularized, the Etruscans believe that birds could predict the future and so killed them and used their collarbone as a divination tool to predict people’s fortunes and for weather forecasting, this was done by stroking the whole wishbone. This wishbone remains intact and you can stroke it for good luck

The materials that I have used are 100% cotton calico, the stuffing is kapok metal wire, the thread that I use is either lyocell (wood fibres) or cotton, it hangs from black (plant) waxed cotton cord, the ring is 925 sterling silver, making this item 100% plastic free, ethical, vegan, handmade and sustainable.

This is not a toy.
