The story behind it
For the friend who is moving across the country.
The moving truck comes on Thursday. Her apartment is all tape and cardboard, and the two of you are eating takeout on the floor because the table is already wrapped.
You hand her a small box before you leave. A silver hamsa with a blue eye, on a chain that sits right at her collarbone. Something light to wear through the airport, the new office, the first lonely week. Something that says someone back home is thinking of her.
May this little hand keep you safe on every road, and bring you home to us often.

About this piece
This hamsa necklace is a small hand in 925 sterling silver with a blue evil eye at its center and small blue cubic zirconia. It is delicate, it is solid silver, and at $44.90 it is one of the easiest gifts in the shop to get right.
What it means
Hamsa means five, for the five fingers of the hand; in Hebrew, five is hamesh (חָמֵשׁ). Shared across Jewish and Middle Eastern homes, it is hung by the door and worn as a sign of blessing, and many Sephardi and Mizrahi families call it the Hand of Miriam. The blue eye at its center is an old guard against ayin hara (עַיִן הָרָע), the evil eye.
Size and materials
- Metal: 925 sterling silver, stamped 925
- Pendant: 17.5 × 9.8 mm, with the bail
- Chain: 17.7 in (45 cm)
- Stones: a blue evil eye and small blue cubic zirconia
The pendant is about as tall as a dime is wide, and the chain falls just at or below the collarbone.
Who it is for
A new mother, a friend moving to a new city, a daughter about to travel, a Bat Mitzvah girl. It also suits someone outside the faith who loves the symbol, since the hamsa belongs to many cultures. Pair it with the hamsa bracelet and the second piece is 10% off.
The verse that goes with it: “The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in.” (Psalm 121:8)
Care: Take it off to swim or shower. Wipe with a polishing cloth when it darkens and store it dry.
