Description from the seller
Collier Main de Fatma – Khamsa and Sacred Eye – Protection against the Evil Eye.
A lapis-lazuli necklace bearing the great Fatima's Hand centered with the protective eye and the lotus, a powerful talisman of the East forged to avert the evil eye and preserve blessing on your road.
On the shores of the Mediterranean and at the gates of ancient Oriental cities, the open hand has stood for millennia as the universal barrier against hostile intentions. Carved on the thresholds of homes and worn by travelers, the Khamsa acts as a silent decree to block the evil eye and preserve the peace of sanctuaries.
At the center of this protective hand opens the eye of vigilance, nestled in the heart of a lotus flower. In sacred traditions, this open gaze never blinks: it captures envious thoughts and jealousy to neutralize them before they disturb the wearer's mind. The geometric motifs engraved along the five fingers form a continuous barrier, preserving a space of luck and harmony.
Wearing this great protective emblem is to take shelter behind the ancient guard of the sages of the Orient: an active shield to avert adversity, repel malicious looks, and journey under a constant blessing.

History & Secrets of the Symbol:
The Fatima Hand and the Khamsa: The Universal Shield
Shared by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures under the names Khamsa, Fatima Hand, or Miriam Hand, the open hand symbolizes the ancient gesture of stopping danger. Emblem of generosity and protection, it is traditionally worn to repel negative influences and attract benevolence to the home.
The Protective Eye at the Heart of the Lotus: The Mirror of the Evil Eye
Placed at the center of the palm, the eye acts as a defensive mirror against Nazar, the gaze of envy or malice. Associated with the lotus, a symbol of purity and spiritual elevation, it watches constantly to dissolve exterior tensions and maintain the wearer's clarity of mind.
The Five Fingers and the Barrier of Forms
The number five (Khamsa) structures this talisman as a sacred perimeter. The detailed engravings adorning each finger create a network of protective lines reputed to block discord energies and preserve the inner balance of the one who strides under its guard.
The Lapis-Lazuli: The Protective Blue and Clarity of Mind
With a deep royal blue reminiscent of the celestial vault, lapis-lazuli has been used since Antiquity as a stone of elevation and spiritual defense. Renowned for calming the flow of thoughts and strengthening the firmness of the mind, its natural nobility harmonizes perfectly with the protective authority of the Khamsa.
