Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Hand and Cuff Charm is a small open hand modelled in the round, the fingers slightly parted and the thumb held clear. A banded cuff closes the wrist and a short sleeve gathers above it, and that detail is what gives the piece its character: it is a hand offered, not merely a hand shape.
The form belongs to the long milagro and ex-voto tradition of Mexico, Spain and the Southwestern United States, where a small metal hand is left at a shrine in thanks for a healing, or brought in petition for the work that hands do, whether a trade, a harvest or the care of a family. Worn today it keeps all of that meaning at once: labor, blessing and gratitude in one figure, and a quiet reminder of the hands that were opened and pierced.
The charm was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
