Vintage Carved Opal Figa Pendant with 14K Gold CAP
About the Item
Carved from opal, this beautiful Figa pendant shimmers in the sunlight. 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.
This is the first Figa pendant we’ve seen carved entirely from opal. It has a translucent quality, and when held up to the light, has a warm golden glow. Opals are often elusive—this one has a creamier, milder color-play that best reveals itself in sunlight.
The pendant is 1 3/4” x 3/8”, not including the teardrop bail that measures 5.5 x 10 mm. The bail is marked as 14k. Circa 1940’s.

View All14k Gold Women’s Empowerment Vulva Pendant Charm with Diamonds
Located in Venice, CA
When we found a vintage charm in the shape of a vulva, we thought it was the perfect symbol of empowerment and decided to create a version of the piece for our Signature Collection. The pendant is cast in 14k gold, with eight beautiful round cut diamonds that sparkle from the inside and draw you in. It can be worn as a powerful symbol of womanhood, with many interpretations to its meaning—a woman’s right to her own body, women’s healthcare issues, the power of a life giving force—and would make a meaningful piece of jewelry for a doula, doctor, activist or anyone embracing their womanhood. The shape of the pendant is reminiscent of an Our Lady of Guadalupe painting...
