I discovered this Hamsa bracelet at Splash (a wonderful little store in St. Louis) a few months ago and thought it would be the perfect addition to my collection of Eastern charms. This dainty bracelet has a bit of a history and there's nothing I love more than a piece of jewelry with a story. In Islamic and Jewish tradition these Hamsa charms are meant to ward off the evil eye. They come in every metal from gold to bronze, bejeweled or plain, but I think this one has just enough gold detail and right mix of color to make it a modern take on a timeless charm.
