Bold, contemporary sterling silver necklace features the "Hamsa" or "Khamsa" symbol to ward off the evil eye. This ancient symbol is used as a protective amulet by both Jews and Muslims. The name Hamsa (or Khamsa in Arabic) is derived from the Semitic root meaning "five". The contemporary pendant has raised, polished Arabic calligraphy meaning "God is Beautiful and loves Beauty", against an antiqued siver background. Hand made by Turkish artisans following centuries old jewelry making traditions.
