About the Vintage Tiger's Eye Mano Figa Charm
Rooted in ancient Italian and Mediterranean tradition, the Mano Figa — a hand gesture symbol — has long been worn as a protective charm. Historically used to ward off the evil eye and negative energy, it represents strength, defiance, and personal power. This charm was procured in Bangkok, Thailand by Zoë.
This vintage piece elevates that symbolism through tiger’s eye, a stone known for grounding and confidence. The combination feels both ancient and modern — a talisman that carries history while fitting seamlessly into today’s layered, expressive style.
