An XL rose quartz Figa hand complete with a decorative sun and star design crafted in 18ct yellow gold.
"The Figa Fist is known as the "mano fico" in present-day Italy. It emerged as a symbol of the fig fruit, which in Greco-Roman culture, was associated with fertility. It was used as a lucky charm & also as an obscene gesture - both which would ward off the evil eye & witchcraft."
The rose quartz is pastel in colour with darker shades of pink throughout. The nails are also crafted in 18ct gold however, one nail is missing , this of course does not affect wear.
