14ct Gold, Oynx & Coral Figa Hand Pendant

This vintage figa charm is crafted with an onyx hand, a 14ct gold mount topped with a coral bead. The rich black onyx ensures that this is a versatile pendant that would look great coupled with a gold chain. These gorgeous figa charms have retained their popularity since the Victorian period.

A figa symbol - in the shape of a hand with the thumb between index and middle fingers - dates back to nearly 8,000 years ago. It is considered in some cultures to be such an obscene gesture that it can act as a talisman that protects from evil. It is worn for good luck.

This vintage charm is a smaller size and could be worn as either a pendant or charm
