Antique 14k Gold Conch Shell Figa Charm

This original Victorian Conch Shell hand charm, is the second of its kind that I sell here on my shop.

A late 19th century beautiful Mano Fico mounted on a 14K gold embellished case, with a 14k gold bracelet around the wrist (no hallmark - acid-tested positive as 14k gold).

The hand pendant is carved on natural Conch Shell.

This late 1800s charming figa pendant is in good antique/used condition with small signs of age, to which in my opinion only adds to its timeless mystery. Antique items are almost always pre-worn and will typically have some level of wear - please refer to the images for reference.

The figa measures approximately 4.6 cm long (including bail) by 1.3 cm wide.
It weighs approximately 5.4 grams.

The chain on image 8 is just used as a reference.

The Mano Figa was initially the symbol incanting fertility and later becoming a mighty lucky charm against bad luck. It was purchased, together with a group of other antique Mediterranean coral and Conch Shell pendants, from an antique dealer in Italy.
