Bozkurt Designs Gold Lace Hamsa Bracelet with Silk Rosette and Red String

In Turkey, there is a tradition of wearing a "Hand of G-d or Fatima" called "Hamsa” or "Chamsah" which is said to confer luck on the wearer and prevent harm. This piece has a gold plated lace Hamsa, with multiple charms - pearl and a small lucky coin, attached to one side and a big silk flower rosette, attached to a red silk string also considered lucky. It is very exotic. This is a statement piece, and very trendy as exotics are being shown for spring summer '10 on all the runways.
