Cowbells were once very useful in Swiss rural life. With their herds, especially in summer, grazing high in the Alps and often on steep slopes, the bells were vital to keep track of them. Older farmers will still tell you they can hear each individual cow by the sound of its own bell.
 
The Swiss cow bell has a beautiful sound. It is believed that bell has the power to banish evil and invite good fortune. It's believed that the bell's sound protects the cows, ensuring their safety and guiding them back home. A Swiss Cow Bell is often considered a good luck bell for the home. Its ringing is said to bring about a sense of well-being, making it a cherished household item.
