Hamsa Pendants

The Hamsa, also known as the Hand of God or Hand of Miriam, is one of the oldest protective symbols in spiritual jewelry. Believed to shield the wearer from negativity and the evil eye, a Hamsa pendant has been worn across cultures and traditions for thousands of years. GLD's Hamsa hand pendant collection takes this ancient symbol and gives it a modern, fully iced treatment with hand-set stones and a prominent center stone representing the watchful eye. Every gold Hamsa pendant is available in yellow gold and white gold.

The word "Hamsa" comes from Hebrew and means "five," referring to the five fingers of the hand. The symbol appears in Judaism, Islam, and many other traditions as a protective amulet that brings its wearer prosperity, happiness, and good luck. Whether the hand faces up (warding off evil) or down (welcoming blessings), a Hamsa necklace carries centuries of meaning in a single piece of hamsa jewelry.

Hamsa Pendant Styles

The Micro Iced Hamsah Pendant is GLD's signature Hamsa, a fully iced design with the hand facing down (symbolizing the welcoming of blessings) and a statement stone at the center of the eye. Available in yellow gold and white gold, it's designed as a micro-sized piece that works for everyday wear and layers easily with other spiritual pendants. The standard Iced Hamsah Pendant scales up the design for those who want more presence on the chest.

Styling Hamsa Pendants

A gold Hamsa pendant pairs well with a 3mm Micro Cuban or tennis chain. For a multi-symbol spiritual stack, layer a Hamsa hand pendant with an evil eye pendant (both symbols are connected to protection from negativity) or an Ankh pendant at a different chain length. Hamsa jewelry also sits well alongside Christian pendants like crosses, crucifixes, Jesus pendants, angel pendants, saint pendants, and praying hands pendants.

GLD's Make Your Own Set lets you bundle a Hamsa necklace with a chain and bracelet starting at $149. All Hamsa pendants ship with fast free shipping, include a 14-day return window, and are backed by GLD's Lifetime Guarantee. Shop Pay is available to split any order into four interest-free payments.
