A duo of charms paired for their beauty and also the protection that each is said to afford the wearer. St Christoper is the patron saint of travelers, mariners and unofficially surfers because he is said to provide protection against severe weather and danger. The mano figa, literally translated as fig hand, is used to ward off bad luck and the malocchio or evil eye, one of the most ancient superstitions in Italy. Worn as an amulet, the mano figa can help deflect negative energy of all kinds and made of an amber agate, it is especially powerful because agate is also known to dispel malice. The ancient Chinese also used agate to cleanse the mind to make space for luck and fortune.
