Antique Sterling Silver Hand Pendant order 1920’s Faceted Garnet Jewel Souvenir of Friendship Exquisite Detail Free Shipping

A rare antique 1920's sterling silver souvenir pendant in the form of a hand with a splendid cuff and a dangling faceted garnet jewel. This pendant can also be threaded on a ribbon due to the two rings on the back.

The hand is the most frequently symbolized part of the human body. It gives blessing, it is expressive. According to Aristotle, the hand is the "tool of tools." In general it is strength, power and protection. However, it can just as easily mean generosity, hospitality and stability; "lend a hand". It is used in gestures of greeting and friendship (shake hands).

The hand pendant is 2 & 1/4 inches long by 3/4 of an inch wide at it's widest by order 3/8 of an inch deep. This is a quirky piece. A collector's treasure.
