The Hamsa hand is a symbol used in Hamsa jewelry, charms, Jewish jewelry, door entrances, cars, and other places. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the
sister of Moses and Aaron as well as the Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of
averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or
"Hand of God". It appears, often in stylised form, as a Hamsa hand with three fingers raised, and
sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically. Enjoy our Hamsa jewelry collection!
