Purple Necklace with Hamsa Hand Pendant, Protection Necklace

This is a modern looking hamsa hand necklace. This is a no frills pendant, sleek and slimline.

The pendant is attached to a necklace made out of matching sleek glass cylinders in transparent purple. The cylinder beads take turns with shiny silver beads.

The 19 inch long necklace closes with a lobster claw clasp. I have attached a four leaf clover charm right next to the clasp - for good luck.

The hand measures 1 1/4 inches in height.

All metal of this necklace is polished stainless steel.

- The Hamsa symbol is found in several cultures throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa. It is believed to be a symbol of protection; the symmetrical hand with five fingers also symbolizes the power of the number five.

The hand, particularly the open right hand, is a sign of protection that also represents blessings, power and strength, and is seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye.
