A "magatama":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magatama is a curved, "comma-shaped" bead or jewel, usually worn on a necklace. Often made of jade, magatama were produced in prehistoric Japan, and are associated with ancient Japanese mythology. (Similar jewels were found in ancient Korea, where they are called "gogok":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gogok].) A famous example is the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three [[japanese regalia|imperial regalia of Japan]]. Sometimes worn for its religious meaning, sometimes just as a fashion accessory.
