The hamsa is an open hand worn as a sign of protection, and this one has the scale to feel like a true emblem. In 14 karat yellow gold, the hand is worked in airy filigree that creates a lace-like, see-through pattern with plenty to look at up close. The hamsa takes its name from the Arabic khamsah, "five," for the five fingers, and it is also known as the Hand of Fatima and the Hand of Miriam. A classic protective motif, done with uncommon detail.
