Crafted in luxurious 18k gold, this pendant features a beautifully detailed hand, known as a "Figa," a symbol that has been revered for centuries across various cultures.

The Figa, often depicted as a hand with the thumb tucked between the index and middle fingers, is traditionally worn as an amulet to ward off the evil eye and protect against bad luck. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilisation, including the Romans and Etruscans, where it was believed to offer protection, fertility, and strength. Over time, the Figa has become a cherished symbol of good fortune, often passed down through generations as a protective charm.

This particular Figa pendant is made even more special by the addition of two vibrant emeralds, set in gold bezels on the wrist and mid-hand. The emeralds, with their deep green hue, are not only a striking contrast to the warm tones of the 18k gold but also add a layer of luxury and significance. Emeralds have long been associated with love, rebirth, and prosperity, further enhancing the pendant's protective qualities.

The hand itself is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, with the gold bands on the fingers adding a touch of refinement. This pendant is more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery; it is a symbol of protection, strength, and good fortune. Whether worn as a daily talisman or a statement piece, it carries with it a rich history and a deep sense of meaning, making it a truly special addition to any collection.

The pendant is presented in excellent vintage condition. There are no chips or cracks in the gemstone.
