She’s a tiny but mighty piece of love and symbolism, and I’m so happy to offer her here: a vintage fede hand pendant in rich 18k gold. Historically, fede hands date back to Roman times, gaining popularity during the Middle Ages and Renaissance as powerful symbols of loyalty, union, and trust. The word fede comes from the Italian “mani in fede,” meaning “hands in faith,” and these hands were traditionally given as tokens of love, betrothal, and lifelong commitment.
This particular hand is beautifully detailed with tiny fingertips, a thumb gently resting on the other hand, and a softly ruffled cuff. She feels tender and intentional like a quiet vow, suspended in gold.
She comes on her original 20-inch 18k gold figaro chain, which I’m including as a gift. It’s the perfect pairing: light, elegant, and slightly androgynous. I love how this piece wears alone or layered, nestled into linen or glinting against bare skin.
Excellent condition with minor signs of age. All colored areas are just reflections from the surroundings.
