VICTORIAN 9CT GOLD HAND & HEART PENDANT

Victorian period

A super sweet Victorian 9ct gold cuffed hand pendant.

The stipple textured gold hand has a central smooth heart on the palm.

The cuff is detailed and finely modelled as a ruffle cuff.

This, originally a stick pin has been converted to a pendant.

The reverse of the hand is a smooth shiny gold, there is a small hole in the gold where the pin was removed, see pics on website.

Often referred to as ‘The hand of Fatima’ this amulet was worn to ward off evil and bring the wearer luck and protection.

It also is seen as a love symbol -  ‘my heart is in your hand’
