The Hamsa pendant is a very impressive amulet of delicate filigree work. The hamsa hand or chamesh fingers (in Hebrew) is an old and still popular amulet for magical protection from the evil eye known to attract positive energy, happiness, riches and health. The Chamsa’s (semitic root meaning five) includes five digits and symbolizes the Writer’s protective hand. Five is on its own a number that may be referred to as a protector. The hamsa, hung on a wall, is a very common ornament in Israel. The usage of the Hamsa is a part of the Jewish and Israeli folklore and superstition, but it has nothing to do with the official Jewish religion. Of course, many of us today display or wear hamsas as ornaments, without giving any thought to their supposed magical properties. size is 1.55×1 inch chain not included with the pendant Attached with a certificate of authenticity stating the following: “This certifies that this piece of hand made jewelry is set with authentic 2,000 year old Roman Glass manufactured by the ancient Romans in 2 b.c.
