This adorable Hamsa pendant mixes silver, color, golden beads and the Star of David (“The Magen David”), which is called in Hebrew “the protector of David”.

Hamsa pendant with Star of David
This harmonious symbol, consisted of two opposite equilateral triangles, is an ancient Jewish symbol (that can also be seen on Israel’s flag), which is believed to be the symbol King David and his warriors had engraved on their fighting shields.

This combination of the Hamsa and the Star of David wraps this jewel’s wearer with strong protecting energy, shielding them from danger and harm and bringing good fortune his way. This Hamsa pendant is everything you could wish a pendant to be – it’s not only beautiful, it’s also a close reminder of the good forces working for you at each moment.
