We have designed a beautiful new collection of birthstone necklaces and earrings set in a gold plated Hamsa design. An ancient talisman of protection against the Evil Eye, a Hamsa amulet bestows blessings and good fortune. In Astrology, birthstones symbolise a connection to Mother Earth and offer protection, good luck and by consequence inspire confidence and self-belief. The Hamsa pendants and earrings are handmade in silver, plated in matt 18 carat gold vermeil and inset with a faceted birthstone edged in gold.  Earring 1. 8cms high x 1cms wide 3. 1cms high including ear wire We plate our jewellery in 3 microns of 18 carat gold vermeil. We recommend removing the jewellery when bathing or swimming to ensure the vermeil plating is long lasting. We also recommend that you avoid spraying perfume on or near the jewellery.
