This tiny hand with pretty, ornate swirls and curves is a dynamic symbol of protection and meant to harness the positive energy in the world around us while dispelling the bad. Negative energy does not have to be directed at one to do harm, and the hamsa is believed to deflect any negativity away from the wearer. A wonderful and important charm of guardianship, the hamsa is also exquisitely crafted with a sophistication and timelessness that makes it a joy to add to any wardrobe! On an 18" fine chain, this piece will be easy to wear every day, with or without other necklaces. Each piece is cast by hand in sterling silver, a soothing and nurturing element. 18" length. Pendant is approximately .4" in length and .3" in width.
