Cheap Jewish Jewelry

The hamsa hand (Also known as the hand of Miriam) is an old popular amulet for protection from the evil eye known to draw positive energy, happiness, riches and health. The Hamsa includes 5 fingers and symbolizes the Creator’s protective hand. Five is by itself a number which is known as a protector. The Hamsa often appears in stylized form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically.

Hamsas are popular as Charms and decorations in Israel. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and Jewish jewelry. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer). Hamsas may be displayed in either directon, up or down according to the taste or decoration associated with the Hamsa.
