161 charms
Protection 6
A glass eye bead hung to deflect the evil eye, the envious glance believed to bring misfortune. Found across Turkey, Greece and the wider Mediterranean, on doorways, cradles and dashboards alike.
An open right hand, often with an eye in the palm, carried as protection against harm. Shared by Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities from Morocco to the Levant.
A lemon and green chillies strung together and hung at shop doors and on vehicles across India to ward off the evil eye, and to give bad luck something sour to chew on instead.
A fierce painted face hung outside homes and building sites in Tamil Nadu. Its job is to draw the evil eye onto itself and away from whatever it guards.
The dung beetle, sacred to the sun's rebirth each morning as it rolls its ball across the sky. Worn as an amulet in ancient Egypt for protection and renewal.
An Ojibwe hoop webbed like a spider's, hung over a sleeping child so the bad dreams catch in the net and the good ones slip through the middle and down the feathers.
Luck & Fortune 4
The endless knot, tied from a single red cord with no beginning and no end. A symbol of longevity, unity and good fortune, hung at Lunar New Year.
A round, weighted doll modelled on the monk Bodhidharma. You paint one eye while making a wish and the other when it comes true, and it always rights itself when knocked over.
The beckoning cat, raised paw inviting good fortune through the door. A raised right paw is said to bring money; a raised left paw brings customers.
Iron shaped by fire, nailed above a door for luck. Hung open end up it holds the luck in; open end down it pours the luck over those who pass beneath.
Ritual & Home 2
The temple bell of Hindu and Buddhist worship. Its ring is said to clear the mind of the person who strikes it and to announce their arrival to the divine.
A geometric mobile of rye straw hung above the table at midwinter in Finland to bless the coming harvest. The name comes from the Swedish word for sky.
Classic 5
A plain glass bead, the charm Hangly ships with. Simple, weighty and never out of place.
Everyone's first lucky charm. The lightest in the set, so it swings the fastest.
Worn on the sleeve, or in this case at the top of the screen.
Cut, faceted and indestructible. Heavy enough to hang the rope nearly straight.
For photographers and the perpetually nostalgic. The heaviest charm in the box.
Marvel 11
Hanging head-down from a thread of his own, which is the way he is most often drawn and the only pose in this set that was already a charm before anybody hung it. Pair him with Spider Thread.
Caught mid-swing on a line he shot a moment ago, one arm up and the rest of him still travelling. The second of him in this set, and the one that looks like it is going somewhere.
Concentric rings and a white star, struck face on. The heaviest thing in the set after the hammer, and it hangs like it.
Red and gold plate with the eye slits lit. Faces forward, so it reads as a mask rather than as a head.
Mjölnir, head square on, a rune lit on its face. The heaviest charm in the app, and on a chain it barely moves.
A closed green fist inside a ring. Solid, and the dullest-sounding charm here — nothing about it rings.
Spider-Man holds the line with Gwen Stacy hanging below him: the rope is drawn into the charm, so it hangs from his grip.
Doctor Strange's amulet: carved bronze bands closed over a green stone that glows from inside.
Thor's axe, rune-cut and bound in leather. The head is heavy, so it hangs blade-down and turns slowly.
Green hood, iron mask, plate armour. The monarch of Latveria, standing as though the room belongs to him.
Best friends, mid-fight, inside a heart. Five small charms dangle beneath it, from the mask to the claws.
DC 5
Wings spread wide and brushed steel-dark. The widest charm in the app, which is why it hangs at a smaller size than the rest of its set.
The crest, cut as a shield and set in silver. Red on chrome, and it catches the light from the same corner every other charm does.
Gold wings folded into a W, over red and blue. Broad across the shoulders and narrow at the point, so it settles nose-down.
A single bolt in red and gold. The lightest charm in the set and the quickest to swing.
A lit green stone in a silver ring. The one charm in this set that glows rather than shines.
Spirituality 17
Murugan's spear, and the sign of the god himself rather than a weapon he carries. A vel is planted at his hill shrines and carried by pilgrims at Thaipusam; the leaf-shaped blade is read as wisdom, broad at the base and sharp at the point.
Vinayagar — Ganesha — struck in relief inside a wreath. He is asked first, before any journey, any examination and any new venture, because he is the one who removes what is in the way.
The Om, set in gold and stoned in red and green. It opens a prayer and closes one, and is cut above doorways so that the sound is there whether or not anyone is saying it.
Karuppasamy, a guardian deity of the village boundary, cast dark and standing with his aruval raised. He is set at the edge of a settlement facing outward: the one who keeps watch on what a house cannot see.
The mani, rung on the way in and not on the way out. The note is meant to clear the mind of whatever it walked in carrying, so that what happens next is the only thing in it.
A rudraksha seed capped in gold filigree. The bead of Shiva's prayer malas.
Black stone marked with three bands of ash, a cobra rising over it and jasmine at its base.
Seated on a lotus in gold robes, one hand raised in blessing.
In flight, mace in one hand, the other held out. The devotee of Rama who carried a mountain.
The black cube draped in the kiswah, its band of gold calligraphy catching the light.
The green dome and white minaret of the Prophet's Mosque.
A gold crescent filled with green geometric lattice, a small star hanging inside its curve.
The name of God in raised gold calligraphy on deep green enamel.
A gold and white enamel cross with a burst of rays behind it and a crystal at every end.
A white dove with gold-edged wings and an olive branch in its beak.
A kneeling angel, wings folded, hands together under a gold halo.
A red heart bound in thorns, crowned with flame and a cross, in a burst of gold rays.
BTS 7
Namjoon — RM, the leader, and the one who speaks for the seven when there is speaking to be done.
Seokjin — Jin, the eldest, and by his own long-running claim worldwide handsome.
Yoongi — SUGA, who produces as Agust D and says the least of the seven on stage.
Hoseok — j-hope, the dancer of the group, and the one the others call their sunshine.
Jimin — the smallest of the seven and the one trained in contemporary dance before any of this.
Taehyung — V, the baritone, and the one who named himself after a letter.
Jungkook — the maknae, the youngest, and the one who joined at fifteen.
Football Legends 10
Portugal's number seven, in the maroon and gold of the home shirt. The seven is the only number in this set that has become a name.
Argentina's sky blue and white stripes with the ten on the back — the shirt a World Cup was finally won in.
Brazil's canarinho yellow, green at the collar and cuffs, ten on the back.
The C, F and M interlocked under a royal crown — granted by Alfonso XIII in 1920, which is where the Real comes from.
Blaugrana: the St George's cross and the Catalan bars above, the blue and claret halves below, a ball at the foot.
Back to us in Portugal red, feet planted wide: the stance before the celebration.
Upside down in white, boot meeting the ball overhead.
A golden ball on a golden base: the year's best player, in one object.
Silver, with the handles that give it its nickname: Big Ears.
Holding the number ten up to the crowd with both hands: the Barcelona shirt shown off after the winner.
Music Legends 6
Green roots over black, sat down in oversized everything, looking like she would rather not be photographed.
Half-blond dreads and folded arms, sitting the way the album covers had him sit.
Caught mid-lean with the fedora down and one sequinned glove up — the pose that needs no caption anywhere on earth.
Sat on a flight case with an acoustic, which is where the songs start before a stadium gets involved.
999 across the hoodie — his own number, six-six-six turned over, for taking a bad thing and making something of it.
Sequined red jacket over black, arms out and eyes shut, halfway through the note that made the night famous.
Friends 6
Coffee in hand, bag on the shoulder — which is how she spent a decent fraction of ten years.
Arms folded, all in black, and everything behind her exactly where it ought to be.
Holding a dinosaur, because he is a palaeontologist and would like a moment of your time to explain it.
Leather jacket, finger up, mouth open. You already know the line.
In the suit, hands in pockets, mid-sarcasm. Could his job BE any harder to describe?
Guitar in hand, which means a cat somewhere is about to be sung about at length.
Breaking Bad 7
Yellow hazmat, a flask of blue in one hand and the gas mask in the other. Still telling himself it is about the family.
Beanie and a yellow jacket, standing like a man who has just been told off and is about to be told off again.
Pinstripes, a loud tie and a sign carrying his own catchphrase, which is the most honest thing about him.
The good suit, the glasses, and absolutely nothing showing on his face. That is the frightening part.
Leather jacket, hands where you can see them, and a patience you would be unwise to test.
The porkpie hat, the glasses, a bag in one hand and the product in the other. The same man as the hazmat, further along.
The Fleetwood Bounder, sun-bleached and desert-dented, that did the cooking before anybody had a laboratory. The most recognisable vehicle on television.
Stranger Things 8
Pink dress, buzzed hair, one hand out. The nosebleed comes after.
Walkie-talkie up, waiting on a reply from someone who may not be able to answer.
Cap on, headset on, halfway through a sentence and not slowing down for anybody.
Camo bandana and a wrist-rocket, drawn and aimed. The only one of them who came prepared.
Holding the string of Christmas lights his mother nailed to the wall to spell things out, letter by letter.
The face opens into five petals. That is the whole of what anybody needs to know about it.
Headphones on and the Upside Down reaching for her. Running up that hill.
Sunglasses, perfect hair, and the nail bat. The best babysitter in Hawkins.
One Piece 8
Straw hat, open shirt, fist already on its way. The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Three swords, one of them in his teeth. The crew's swordsman, low and ready.
The navigator, with her weather staff over her shoulder and a map of the world in her head.
Slingshot drawn, grin wider than his courage. The sniper who tells the best stories on the ship.
Black suit, one leg up and on fire. The cook fights with his feet so his hands stay fit for the kitchen.
The ship's doctor: a reindeer in a blue hat with a white cross, small enough to hang anywhere.
The archaeologist, arms crossed and more hands blooming around her than anyone could count.
Orange hat, bead necklace, fire running up both arms. Fire Fist, Luffy's older brother.
Harry Potter 8
Round glasses, Gryffindor robes, wand out. The boy who lived.
Books under one arm and a wand in the other hand, which is roughly how she arrived at Hogwarts.
Hand-me-down robes and an owl on his shoulder. Harry's best friend, and the bravest about chess.
Long beard, embroidered robes, a staff taller than he is. The headmaster of Hogwarts.
Black robes and dark smoke coiling around him. He Who Must Not Be Named.
A snowy owl on a branch, yellow-eyed and patient. She delivered every letter that mattered.
A walnut-sized gold ball with silver-veined wings. Catch it and the match is over.
The cloak, the stone and the wand: a triangle, a circle and a line, cut in polished steel.
Ben 10 9
Ten years old, fists up, the Omnitrix already on his wrist.
A Tetramand: red, enormous, and flexing all four arms at once.
A Pyronite made of living rock and flame, burning at the hands and feet.
A Kineceleran, blue and black, built for speed with a tail for balance.
A Petrosapien grown from green crystal, every edge sharp enough to cut.
An Arburian Pelarota, armoured in yellow plates so he can curl up and roll.
A Galvanic Mechamorph: black, liquid metal traced with green circuitry.
A Vulpimancer: orange fur, claws, and a snarl that does the talking.
The watch itself: a green hourglass under glass in a steel dial.
Attack on Titan 8
Green cloak flying, blades drawn, gear firing. The boy who swore to wipe out every Titan.
Red scarf, both blades out. The strongest soldier of her year, and never far from Eren.
Humanity's strongest soldier, cloak spread, mid-turn in the air.
Blond, blade raised, already three moves ahead. The Survey Corps' strategist.
Skinless, sixty metres tall, and wrapped in its own steam. The Titan that broke the wall.

The direwolf sigil in silver, every hackle cut sharp. Winter is coming.
The three-headed red dragon on black. Fire and blood.

White leather, mesh panels and fire-red wings at the laces.
