Su Coccu is an ancient amulet, one of the most popular in Sardinia, also known as Pinnadellu or Sabegia. In the Sardinian culture, this lucky amulet has the power to defend the person from the evil eye, from poisonous animals and alleviate evils. The tradition wants that the central stone (onyx or obsidian) is able to neutralize and defend from evil. Just for the round shape of the stone and for the silver cups that support it, Su Coccu symbolically recalls the good eye that is opposed to the bad one. In the past, the amulet was given to newborns or brides, handed down from generation to generation. Today Su Coccu is inserted in jewels of current design, maintaining its precious meaning.
