    Jewelry decorated with a hand in Maghreb have the power of protection against "Evil eye"...the brides and pregnant women are considered most vulnerable and need to be more protected... by these amulets ...their name is "Khamsa" which means "five" in Arabic and symbolizes the 5 principles of Islam... the big hand is 5,52inch x 3,77 inch and the 2 smaller 4,52inch x 2,99inch.

    Really lovely.
    Ironic though that it's supposed to protect the wearer from envy. As far as I can see, and as far as I'm personally concerned, it would cause envy! ( I'm very jealous!) cheers C.
