Miri Sterling Silver Khamsa Adjustable Charm Bracelet - Gold

Simple minimalist bracelet featuring a dainty khamsa charm set with sparkling cz crystals and a turquoise stone on a double chain. Adjust the size with the built-in chain extender.

This unique bracelet features the "Hamsa" or "Khamsa" symbol to ward off the evil eye, a symbol that has been used as a protective amulet by many faith traditions throughout history, including followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Depicting the open palm of the right hand, the name Hamsa (or Khamsa in Arabic) is derived from the root meaning "five". For some Muslims it signifies the five verses of Surah Falaq , seeking Allah's refuge from evil. For others in Islamic tradition, the five fingers represent the Five Pillars of Islam. Yet other Muslims call it the "Hand of Fatima", referencing the members of the Prophet Muhammed's daughter Fatimah Zahra's family; those five people over whom the Prophet held a cloth.

Levantine Christians call it the hand of Mary, while Jews refer to it as the hand of Miriam in remembrance of the sister of Prophets Moses and Aaron

Each piece is individually hand crafted following centuries-old jewelry-making traditions. Slight differences are imperfections are a hallmark of the individuality of this product and no two pieces will be exactly alike.
