Here the stone reads less as a focal gem and more as punctuation, a small point of color anchoring an otherwise all-gold design. The center of this Hamsa is marked by a single round turquoise, no more than 2mm across, set where the eye of the hand traditionally sits. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe gold itself is where the piece earns its keep. This is cannetille work, a filigree technique built from tightly coiled and looped wire that was especially popular in mid-century Mediterranean and North African goldsmithing, and it's evident in the dense scrollwork filling both the palm and the fingers of the hand. Nothing here is cast or stamped — every curl and loop was formed and soldered by hand, giving the piece an openness and lightness that belies its presence when worn. Dating to the 1960s-80s, it carries the hallmark of that era's finer charm work: hand-fabricated, detailed at close range, and substantial enough to stand on its own as a pendant.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14k yellow gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14K (stamped on back of pendant)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(5, 29, 64); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(5, 29, 64); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e 2mm Round Turquoise\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(5, 29, 64); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36.2mm long including bail x 17.2mm wide x 1.2mm thick\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 grams\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e-----\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis large, vintage Hamsa charm is made with cannettile work.
