Fìga {f} /Fɪɡa/
Italian to English Translation:
{slang}
c***
Reclaiming the word “c***” in both Italian and English is an act of empowerment and celebration.
Fìga Galleria is owned and operated by Michaela Reggio, a non-binary lesbian artist whose work spans multiple disciplines. For Reggio, jewelry-making is not just a craft but a form of self-celebration—an exploration of identity and artistry that reclaims space with confidence and intention.
Rather than allowing it to be a tool of oppression, embracing the word, fìga, transforms it into a symbol of strength, creativity, and autonomy. What was once used to demean is now a declaration of power, identity, and artistic expression.
For non-binary artists like Reggio, embracing this word is about more than subverting its past—it’s about honoring its vibrancy and meaning in a new light. It becomes a mark of resilience, joy, and creative defiance, shaping a world where language uplifts rather than diminishes. By redefining it on their own terms, Reggio and others turn it into a celebration of identity, art, and unapologetic self-expression.

LA BASED
Based in Los Angeles, Fìga Galleria is deeply committed to local craftsmanship, supporting artisans while reducing shipping times, costs, and our carbon footprint. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by founder Michaela Reggio using the highest quality materials, thoughtfully sourced to ensure both visual beauty and lasting durability.
With a meticulous eye for detail, every component is carefully selected and assembled by hand, transforming raw materials into wearable art. Delicate charms, lustrous pearls, and intricate chains are seamlessly combined to create pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every design is not just an accessory but a meaningful, enchanting treasure, reflecting the artistry and unique spirit of LA.
CELEBRATING QUEER CREATIVITY
Creativity is at the heart of Fìga Galleria.
Each piece draws from nature’s vivid palette and the mesmerizing beauty of crystals, weaving together materials like pearls, metals, and chains. Our designs embody androgyny, blending bold and minimal aesthetics with a balance of masculine and feminine energy.
Recognizing the lack of androgynous options in the jewelry world, Reggio was inspired to create pieces where androgynous individuals can feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful.
At Fìga, we reject limitations, crafting jewelry that embraces freedom, fluidity, and individuality.
By choosing Fìga, you support original, handmade artistry and the celebration of self-expression.
