During the Victorian era the female hand motif was used often in jewelry. Each piece meant something sentimental. Whether the hand was holding an object, clasped, or shaking hands. The meanings could symbolize love, friendship, or strength.
14k Victorian hand, which is holding a gold orb. Features a detailed cuff, and lovely turquoise stone. I'm not exactly sure if it's vintage or antique. I'm leaning vintage since there are no British hallmarks. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
