Immunity Necklace

The Immunity Necklace (previously Talisman in earlier seasons) is awarded to an individual, post-merge who has won an Individual Immunity Challenge.

About
Similar to the Immunity Idol that grants a group of Survivors exemption, the Immunity Necklace grants one individual safety at the next Tribal Council.

When a contestant is in possession of the necklace, it is brought back to camp and typically placed by the shelter. Whilst other castaways can "try on" the necklace, ownership lies solely with the winner and cannot be stolen by another.

Between to Survivor: Africa the necklace was non-transferrable leaving allies vulnerable. Because of the size and starting from Survivor: Marquesas, the necklace became a transferrable item permitting a castaway to hand it to another. This has proven to be a dangerous (and sometimes, risky) move.

Design
Typically, the Necklace will fit with the motif of the season with some tribal design or small tiki attached. Other designs include feathers, tiki heads, skulls and even teeth. A winning contestant will wear the necklace at Tribal Council around their neck to indicate their exemption from being voted against.

One-time only Necklaces
During, both tribes competed for Individual Immunity. In previous seasons two necklaces would both be similar in appearance, however, La Flor and Espada had their very own unique designs and tribal colors with either a Fleur de Lis or a Sword.

One-time only Immunity Idol
During Survivor: Micronesia. As a part of a first challenge, a special idol is placed on the front of the raft of both Airai and Malakal tribe. The rule is almost the same as the necklace, only the possession right lasts until their tribe's first tribal council. The immunity idol was found by Yau-Man Chan and Kathy Sleckman respectively (Technically Jon Dalton did found the idol first, however he mistaken the Airai(the opposing tribe)'s idol and had to be dropped, and losing to Yau-Man when both are chasing for the Malakal idol). The two idols were removed from game after episode 2 as both tribes went to tribal council once each in two episodes.
