A vintage Figa hand charm by UnoAErre, crafted in solid 14K yellow gold circa 1980s. Finely detailed and realistic, the fist is accented with a decorative wrist cuff, adding an elegant flourish to this age-old protective symbol.
The figa is a powerful symbol of protection, good fortune, and fertility, believed to ward off the evil eye and malevolent spirits. Shaped as a fist with the thumb tucked between the index and middle fingers, this ancient gesture traces back to the Etruscans and Romans. Beyond its protective qualities, it has also been seen as an emblem of female power, strength, and defiance, giving it a rich and layered history that continues to resonate today.
