Antique Victorian Bone Figa Hand Pendant, 14k Gold Amulet Charm, Mano Fico Lucky Hand

A captivating antique Victorian figa hand pendant, finely carved from bone and mounted in warm 14k gold with delicate embellishments. This evocative piece dates to the mid-Victorian period, a time when jewellery was rich in meaning and worn as much for protection as for beauty.

The figa, or mano fico, is an ancient Mediterranean symbol traditionally worn as a powerful talisman against bad luck and the evil eye, while also representing fertility, protection, and quiet strength. The gently clenched hand is thought to guard its wearer, holding misfortune at bay and inviting good fortune instead, a deeply personal charm, often given as a token of care or love.

This example is particularly elegant, with a softly aged bone surface showing natural patina and small signs of time, alongside a finely worked gold mount and bracelet detail. The gold has a subtle warmth, enhanced by age, that sits beautifully against the pale bone.
