It is customary for Jews from the Middle East to raise their hand (five fingers) for good luck and against (Ayin Hara) an evil eye. In Exodus 17:11, we see that when Moses raised his hand, the Jews were successful in battle against Amalek. Many believe that this is where the custom of Jews wearing the Hamsa originated from.
Over the centuries the Hamsa has become a popular middle eastern symbol and is also worn by Christians from Middle Eastern countries.
This elegant pendant features a hamsa fashioned from opal and surrounded by a gold-filled decorative shield.
- Gold plated
- Opal Hamsa
- Comes with a gold plated oval link chain

Cinamon Jewelry is a much loved Israeli company that curates a collection of wearable, meaningful jewelry pieces.
Inspired by the rich Jewish tradition they craft items that are reflective of their deep spiritual connection to Torah and also items that reflect their deep roots in the Holy Land.
You will find reflections of the Holy City of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel with references to important prayers and quotes from the book of Psalms. Each piece of jewelry is more that simply a beautiful adornment, but rather, a touchstone that will connect the wearer to the land of Israel and to their faith.
Many of the pendants are suitable for both men and women. For men who prefer a slightly more rugged look the chain may be replaced with a cord of leather.
