artistic necklaces

Andi Rachmansyah transforms buffalo horn into a beautiful Hamsa or the Hand of Fatima pendant. The Balinese artisan's excellent carving skills are evident in the detailed artistry that adorns the Hamsa hand. In Jewish and Muslim traditions, Fatima or Miriam's hand is regarded as a good luck amulet and protector from wrath, catastrophe and jealousy. The black pendant is worn on a black braided leather cord.

Dotted with elegant artistry, a sterling silver sphere evokes timeless admiration. It chimes like a small bell. Desi Antari crafts the necklace by hand with an ornate chain.

Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. The chain lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.

The Hamsa, or Hand of Fatima, is an ancestral amulet of Abrahamic cultures. Often worn as a mark of divine protection, this stunning symbol is now part of Hema's newest design, crafted by Indian artists who work with sterling silver and cubic zirconia stones. After placing each jewel in this pendant necklace, the artisans paint the center in a luminous hue, enhancing the mystical properties of the sign.

Bold and symbolic, this brass pendant necklace features a finely detailed miniature replica of an ancient axe. Inspired by traditional Armenian tools and weaponry, it embodies the timeless spirit of the nation's history and artistry. Traditionally, axes represented strength and protection, serving both practical and ceremonial purposes. The textured blade and handle pay homage to historic craftsmanship while the warm brass finish adds a rustic yet refined touch. Suspended from a soft black cord, this unique piece by Armenian artisan Narek blends cultural heritage with versatile style.
