Gold Vermeil Filigree Artisan Crafted Hamsa Symbol Necklace, "Hamsa Symbol"
From Peru's Giuliana Valz-Gen, this beautiful pendant takes the form of an amulet known as the hamsa, which means "five" in Arabic. It is considered a defense against the evil eye. Popular in Jewish culture, its five fingers can represent the five books of the Torah and the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which represents one of the holy names of God. It is also a reminder to praise God with all five senses. Handcrafted of sterling silver bathed in 21k gold, the necklace showcases Andean filigree art.

"Nice and Delicate"





I have bought several pieces from the Artist Giuliana Valz-Gen. Everyone of them well crafted. This necklace is nice and delicate and specially easy on and off due to its longer length, so I love it. While the hook closure is not one of my favorite as it gets caught onto my long hair when trying to put it on or off.
