Questions

Which way should a hamsa face?
Both are traditional. Fingers up is protection; fingers down is welcoming blessing and abundance.

Is the hamsa Jewish?
The hamsa is shared across Jewish and Middle Eastern traditions. In Jewish homes it is often called the Hand of Miriam.

What is the difference between a hamsa and an evil eye?
The hamsa is an open hand for protection and blessing; the evil eye is a blue eye that turns envy away. They are often worn together.

Yes. It is 925 sterling silver with gold plating.

How do I keep it shiny?
Store it dry, take it off before swimming or the gym, and wipe it with a soft cloth. Sterling can darken over time; a silver cloth brings it back.
