Lustrous, natural blush-colored freshwater pearls compliment a lovely hamsa pendant from Morocco. The hamsa, or five fingered hand, is a symbol of protection in many cultures. This one is a stylized representation, where the fingers run across the bottom (the thumb is the differently shaped one) and is inscribed with lovely geometric motifs.

This hand-knotted necklace is 17.5 inches long and closes with a sterling silver toggle sporting a matching inset freshwater pearl.
