Vibrant Hamsa Necklace to Protect from the Evil Eye from the Artazia Collection

Another Hamsa hand. The hamsa hand (Arabic) or hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the envious or evil eye. The words hamsa and hamesh mean “five” and refer to the digits on the hand. An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima, in reference to the daughter of Mohammed. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to the sister of Moses and Aaron.

Like wearing a miniature artwork, each piece is truly unique with the intricate design hand painted and set within a very light stainless steel frame. Austrian crystals, beads and a variety of other materials are delicately assembled and set in artists resin resulting in a beautifully finished and durable piece. Truly a work of art, this the Hamsa necklace is exceptionally well made and is produced in limited editions.
