In the center of the Hamsa hand is a metal sheet inscribed with a prayer beseeching that in this home there should be no distress, illness, sadness or conflict – only the blessings of peace. The Hamsa is decorated with blue stones – a color that has divine significance in traditional sources. This item was designed and produced by the renowned artist Yealat Chen using a new durable metal call mazak.

The word hamsa has its origin in the Hebrew word for five, referring to the five digits on the hand or the five books of the Torah or the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet which is one of G-d’s holy names. As an amulet of protection it is becoming increasingly popular for personal jewelry or as a home decoration or as an adornment on personal items. Wherever it is used, it is reputed to bring with it happiness, good health and good fortune.
