Hamsa Hanging Pyrite

Description

Two old symbols come together in this hanging piece: the Hamsa hand and pyrite. The pyrite shimmers with a metallic gold glint, which gives the ornament its warmth and catches the eye from across a room. The Hamsa has been kept for generations as a symbol of protection, traditionally understood as a way of turning aside negative energy. Pyrite, for its part, is a crystal long celebrated in tradition for its association with wealth and success. Together they make a piece that people hang as a talisman as much as a decoration, holding their intentions rather than promising results. Because it hangs, it works in places a standing ornament cannot go. Many people put it near a doorway or a window, or somewhere in an office where they will pass it often. It suits a home or a workplace, and makes a considerate gift for someone who appreciates symbolism with a bit of shine to it. It is a charm you can enjoy looking at every day.
