Symbols are everywhere—there are hundreds around us, and we barely do not even notice most of them. What's more, in jewelry, symbols are a powerful way to express meaning and protection. The Hamsa is one of the most recognized and meaningful symbols you can wear. Here's what it means and why BLNG's Hamsa Hand Pendant is the perfect way to carry that energy.
What Is the Hamsa Symbol?
The Hamsa (also called the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Miriam) is an ancient palm-shaped amulet featuring an open right hand, often with an eye in the center. It's one of the oldest and most universal symbols of protection, recognized across multiple cultures and religions.
