Antique 14k Gold Mano Figa Pendant: Victorian Bone Charm with Fish, Hand Pendant, Lucky Charm

A special Victorian figa charm made of bone and mounted in an embellished 14k gold case. It’s nicely detailed with gold nails, a bangle and a bail. The hand holds an 14k gold charm holder suspending a naive miniature fish, along with a red and a yellow glass bead.

This special antique piece beautifully combines protection and symbolism — the Mano Figa gesture traditionally believed to ward off bad luck and attract good fortune.
