It's worn in jewelry, and used in the home as a wall hanging and in decorative motifs. This pewter Hamsa is 7/8" (20mm) long with a cut-out center. Top bead is pewter. Middle bead is a traditional cobalt blue and white Nazar Boncugu, the Turkish name for the Evil Eye bead which brings good luck and protects against jealousy and the Evil Eye. A Hamsa with an Evil Eye center bead is double protection. 2-3/8" (60mm) long from the top of nickel-free ear wires. Clip-ons and screw backs are available for non-pierced ears.
