Delivery EstimateBy Maria Belen Nilson, this 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. Crafted of sterling silver mined in Taxco, the pendant is worn on a silver chain.

"Sleek, elegant, and unforgettable"
What can I say? This is one of the best jewelry purchases I ve made all year. The clean lines go well with Art Deco or Bauhaus-inspired outfits, but there s something distinctive that sets it apart even from those artistic movements (which happen to be among my favourites). The abstract look of rushing water captured in silver is truly unique. I love its versatility too; whether you wear it right side up, upside down, turned on its left side, or turned on its right side, it will look dazzling no matter what. It goes with anything from casual chic to more formal outfits. Best of all, the craftsmanship can t be beat; so far, this brooch seems to have perhaps the most secure clasp of any I ve ever owned (and I own a *lot* of brooches). Highly recommend.

"Chirp!"
These are sweet little earrings that I plan to wear with a larger pair of bird earrings. Perfect for a child or adult. Again, they look just like the picture! Well done!
