XL ANTIQUE 14k Gold Carved White Mano Cornuto Figa Hand Pendant Turquoise Bangle Figural Rock On Symbol Fist Amulet

ABOUT:

Special stock drop of some fun figural antique pieces, several of these are personal collection releases that I have enjoyed! : )

Interesting carved white Mano Cornuto symbol hand pendant mounted in 14k gold. This antique piece has incredible detail. It is larger in size and as a fun added element, it wears a turquoise and gold bangle bracelet at its wrist that moves.

These figural hands were a very popular motif during Victorian times and even before that. They along with other forms of the Figa, were traditionally worn to bring protection and luck, and ward off evil.

Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Some of my buyers "draw out" an example to get an idea of scale in person.

Antique Boxes, props, chains, mice : ) not included.

MEASUREMENTS:

33mm not including jump ring x 11mm x 8mm deep. It weighs 2.6g.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

Some nicks to the turquoise under magnification and build up from age but incredible detail, no chips or breaks and beautiful polish.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )

Striking to wear with the figural shape.

I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!

MORE ABOUT HANDS JEWELRY (FROM BEJEWELED MAGAZINE):
In many cultures, people use their hands to help convey emotions when communicating. Throughout history, shaking hands in friendship, holding hands in affection, or reaching out with a token of love to ask for a hand in marriage have all been captured in this expressive motif in antique jewelry. From ancient Roman times through the sentimental Georgian and Victorian eras, hands have held many messages: loyalty, strength, romance and fidelity. The most charming and collectible of all variations of the hand are those that wear their own miniature pieces of jewelry, such as engagement rings and bracelets. This is definitely one form of antique jewelry that can be collected and worn today, and then handed down to the next generation.
