amulet
Worn for luck
An amulet is a small object worn or carried for protection against evil, danger, or disease.
Unlike talismans, which are believed to bring good fortune, amulets ward off harm.
The term applies to objects from various traditions—a rabbit's foot, a hamsa, a crucifix worn around the neck: She never traveled without her amulet.
