I got a little gift this weekend - of the costume jewellery variety.
Cue squeal of excitement
It's a little bit of everything, channeling the aesthetics of a pretty disc necklace, combining it with a dose of spirituality - and of course I love it.
The designer is By Sophie and this is a Hamsa necklace - an open palm shaped amulet intended to protect the wearer, much like the evil eye.
I absolutely love the way it looks on. The length and size is just right and well, you know me....little charm like sparkle things? Instant love.
I know that this was purchased at Boutique 1 - Dubai based shopping mecca - and unfortunately I can't find the exact one on the website. They have something equally lovely...and plenty of snake rings that I also love....*sigh* Bring on payday!
However, I did have a look on Etsy for you and as usual, there are so many pretty alternatives offered at a great price. My votes go to:
1 - Link! Tiny and delicate with a combination of Hamsa and evil eye for the ultimate protection.
2 - Link! More sideways action!
3 - Link! - Similar to mine!
Seriously, how many more mythical charms do you think I can buy and stack up on my person? With this, the evil eye and my sideways cross I should be set for protection :)
PS. Top worn in above photo is by Sass & Bide (said in Kath & Kim accent) and is a recent eBay acquisition.
I haven't eBayed for clothes for ages and faith has been totally restored.
This was such a bargain and it's the most beautiful top - absolutely deserves a post of it's own :)

You have made me love small charm necklaces.. and this one is just lovely. Ahh, want!
ReplyDeleteI much prefer the hamsa style to the evil eye, love the way it's set in a disc and is the perfect length, really pretty! x
ReplyDeletelove it, can you link us to the ebay store?? for the top? what have you been up to this sunday?Lorna xx
ReplyDeletesadly it was a one-off :( and i have been at work so not that exciting :)
Deleteloooove this. so dainty and pretty :)
ReplyDeletecannot wait to see the post with the top, from the little glimpse in the photo it looks beautiful!

I adore the Hamsa necklaces! I've been very hesitant to wear them as I always thought they were Islamic and as I am not Muslim, it would have just felt 'wrong' to wear them, but I did some research and I'm definitely going t buy one! Yours is divine :)
ReplyDeletexxxxx
I think it's grounded in Islam but also has links to Judaism. But hey, I am a Christian :)
DeleteThanks for clarifying, I think we can both agree it's just a beautiful symbol :)
DeleteI should count the number of jewel pieces I got because of you. Or maybe not :))
ReplyDelete(I am thankful, though, I never know where to look for pretty jewelry so I'm so glad I can just use your own research!)
ohhh that's such a pretty necklace, it looks like it'd suit anyone. Agree with stylefrost, that I prefer this to the evil eye ones! i really want a lorraine stannick disc necklace...*sigh, one day* xx
ReplyDeleteI know :( They are lovely but far too expensive. You could go and get it created bespoke at a jewellers of course...would be lots cheaper!
Deletehahah my dads a jeweller!! maybe before my next birthday ill just print out a bunch of pics and slide them under his door..subtle hints..you know
DeleteThe necklace is lovely but I especially like your top, would love to see it properly in another post!
ReplyDeleteOf course! I am obsessed with it. God love eBay :)
DeleteSooooo pretty! I recently bought one and love it so much planning to get the matching bracelet, like you waiting for payday! :) x x

The necklace is so you. It's always nice when a gift is exactly what you wanted but never knew you did (if that makes sense).
ReplyDeleteI have the necklace in your first link (but in silver), my mum bought it for my for christmas, and I generally wear it layered with a sideways cross necklace (mine is slightly off centre, so they look a bit 'random' which I like)
ReplyDeleteGood choice!
Lovely!!! Great find!
