€176.00This 18-karat yellow gold pendant depicts a closed hand, known as a "mano cornuta" (or "horned hand"), with the two outer fingers (index and little finger) pointing downwards and the others bent. This gesture is a traditional form of protection against the evil eye in Italian and Mediterranean cultures, often worn as a talisman or amulet.
The hand is finely modeled, with clearly visible details on the fingers, wrist, and folds of the palm. It hangs from a simple bail that allows it to be easily worn on a chain or bracelet. The polish is shiny, which enhances the natural luster of the gold.
This type of pendant has been a popular symbolic piece of jewelry for centuries in Italy, Spain, Latin America, and even North Africa. Very fashionable in the 1960s to 1980s, it continues to be appreciated for its protective value and cultural significance.
A piece of jewelry that is both ornamental and spiritual, often worn as a good luck charm, a gift for a new baby or traveler, or simply as a statement of tradition.
