Vintage 18K Gold Ornate Figa with Enamel and Diamond Details
About the Item
This Figa pendant is made from solid 18k gold, adorned with blue enamel and two single cut diamonds. The clenched fist with a thumb extended between two fingers is a symbol for femininity in many cultures. Most notoriously, the Figa is worn as a good luck talisman in Brazil. It is said to store up luck and offer protection from the Evil Eye. The tradition dates back to the Etruscan Era, where Figa was symbolic of female genitalia.
The pendant weighs 12.3 grams, and has a heavy weight to it that feels great to hold. The solid and substantial nature of the piece make it a powerful talisman. The hand has wonderful definition, and the sleeve is detailed with a repeating fleur-de-lys pattern. A band of cobalt blue enamel adds a striking contrast against the gold, and two single cut diamonds bring sparkle to the sleeve. The pendant has a nice rounded top that connects to an oversized bail.
The pendant measure 2 5/8” x 1/2” x 3/8” (not including the 7.6 mm round bail). The single cut diamonds measure 1.5 mm each. The pendant looks great with other charms but is also substantial enough to be worn alone.

View All18K Gold Early Victorian Diamond Trilogy Ring with Blue Enamel Details
Located in Venice, CA
This 18k gold early Victorian ring features three Old Mind Cut diamonds encased in blue enamel square details. The diamonds are housed in a square, carved out setting in the 18k gold that creates a gorgeous contrast against the navy blue. The center square is larger, with a punched out format that raises it a layer above the rest of the ring. The deep blue enamel creates a ribbonlike detail on each end of the design. The diamonds are bead set, which enhances their sparkle and gives the visual illusion that they are square-shaped. At a larger size of 10.5, this makes a great unisex ring, ideal for a man or a woman’s middle finger.
The ring contains approximately 1/3 of a carat of natural antique diamonds. The center diamond is 3.5 mm, and two side diamonds are 2.5 mm. All three diamonds are Old Mine Cut with chunky shape and large culets. The diamonds are bright and lively, H-I in color, SL2 in clarity.
The ring is marked with 18CT and the maker’s mark of “G.TS”. The center square is 3/8” wide and the band tapers down to 3/16” on the bottom. The ring weighs 6.3 grams.
Ring size 10.5; due to the enamel, we do not recommend resizing.
This could make a beautiful wedding band but is also perfect for anyone who wants a treasured piece of the past. We currently have a women’s ring in our collection that makes a beautiful counterpart to this ring and could make a matching pair of wedding rings.
