Figa Pendant in 18K Gold

A Figa in 18K gold — the protective hand gesture, as pendant.

The _figa_ — a closed-fist gesture with the thumb between the index and middle fingers — is one of the oldest protective amulets in Latin and Iberian-derived cultures. The gesture is said to deflect evil eye, ill fortune, and malevolent influence; carried as pendant, the form preserves that protective association in fine jewelry.

This pendant renders the figa hand in solid 18K yellow gold at 0.4 grams. The fist's distinctive position is sculpted in clean polished gold, the form unmistakable to those who know the tradition.
