Ancient Roman girls and boys wore jewelry to keep them safe from harm (of both the natural and supernatural kinds). Besides the more famous bulla, there were also necklaces called crepundia, combining various miniatures, jingles, toys and dispersed elements. I find them fascinating and inspiring artifacts, attempting to created contemporary arty variants. Here are some of my Crepundia (available on my Etsy shop).
