A sweet, miniature elephant charm, modeled realistically in 14k yellow gold, whose cheerful subject is depicted with a raised trunk. This lucky fellow is small but mighty— he is expressively carved and solidly cast, so he feels a bit like a gold nugget in wear. The lucky elephant concept originates in India and Southeast Asia, where elephants are revered . . . and in the practice of Feng Shui an elephant with a raised trunk is considered good luck, as it represents prosperity and success. We love this elephant's happy face, and his beautifully carved ears, that suggest movement. Wear him alone on a slender neck chain, or pair him with other lucky charms!
