The hamsa (which translates to the number “5” in Arabic) is an amulet or talisman that has been popular in North Africa and the Middle East since Biblical times. The theory goes something like this: those who are envious or harbor dislike for another can direct an evil eye their way with the intent to cause harm. The Hamsa deflects the evil eye, protecting the user from any and all ill will. These talisman are abundant in Morocco- hanging from trees in the desert, dangling from pendants adorning the necks of local Berber women and standing guard at the front door of many local homes.
We invite you to embrace that same tradition with a beautiful pair of handcast sterling silver Hamsa earrings from Morocco. The 1” long hands dangle beneath a French wire and are delicately hand-etched with traditional designs to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that’s destined to bring the wearer good luck. Elegantly presented in a gift box, finished with the From Morocco, With Love logo and accompanied by a storycard detailing how this purchase will improve the lives of the impoverished in Morocco. The Hamsa earrings are featured on the top right…

The purchase of a pair of earrings directly supports talented craftsmen in Morocco. In addition, this single purchase enables From Morocco, With Love to provide a local Berber child with a pair of tennis shoes. Many of these children walk several kilometers each way to-and-from school six days a week, so proper footwear is essential to their continued education.
