A hand of Figa carved from tiger's eye with a mount of almost 17k yellow gold (Au 700/1000), which is also faceted with a natural emerald weighing 0.30 ct (Colombia indication). Unmarked, the jewel is accompanied by a certificate from the Assay Office.
The Figa hand charm, also known as the mano figa or fig sign, is a powerful symbol that has been used for centuries to ward off evil and bring good luck. It is a hand gesture that involves making a fist with the thumb tucked between the index and middle fingers, with the palm facing outward.
