Antique Coffin Nail Necklace

This necklace features an antique Victorian era "coffin" nail pendant that was hand forged from iron. 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 a 20 inch antiqued sterling silver chain

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.
