Antique Coffin Nail Leather Necklace

This necklace features an antique Victorian era "coffin" nail pendant that was hand forged from iron, and sourced from Salem, Massachusetts. Coffin refers to the shape and style of nail, and they would be used in the making of coffins and the building of other items. The nail measures about 2 1/2 inches long, and hangs on an adjustable leather necklace that goes up to 24 inches long.

Iron has long been associated as a sacred metal, commonly representing Earth. Iron's properties include protection, grounding, good luck, and prosperity. These nails have been cleaned of rust and a protective clear coat has been added.
