This unique Kabyle/Berber hand of fatima pendant is purely handmade by an Algerian artisan using pure silver 950¸ mediterranean red coral and colourful enamel. You sometimes get imperfections in their jewellery; that is because they are done separately by hand; which gives it the real sense of the Handmade. It could take them hours to make one single piece of art such as this one. It is made with passion and love to the culture. The artisans are only using pure products.
Meaning of Hand of Fatima:
The Khamsa or Hamsa¸ (in Hebrew: “Khamsa” in Arabic: Hamsa means “five”) is an
icon in amulets¸ charms¸ and Jewellery¸ to protect against evil eyes.
An Islamic alternative name for this charm : “Eye of Fatima or the hand of
Fatima” ¸ regarding to Fatima Zahra¸ Prophet Muhammad’s daughter. The other
meaning in Jewish is Miriam’s hand ¸ as regards Miriam¸ the sister of Aaron and
Moses. It is a sort of “protection of the hand” or “The hand of God“.
It symbolizes also the five books of the Torah to Jews and the Five Pillars of
Islam for Sunni Muslims.
In recent years¸ several peace activists in the Middle East¸ have chosen to wear
resistance Hamsa the symbol of the origin and the similarities between the
Jewish and Islamic tradition. The fingers may point up or down.

Un tout tout grand merci pour votre gentille réponse, Hacene! Oui, je sais que les parlers berbères sont très nombreux. En décembre j'étais dans la région des Kel Tamacheq près de Djanet, rien À voir avec la langue berbère du Haut-Atlas au Maroc. Et j'ai en effet l'impression d'entendre des différences entre la langue d'Inzanzaren et de Tinariwen! Vous etes Kabyle d'Algérie... donc vous parlez plutot comme Idir ;-!? Je profiterais de votre gentillesse en vous demandant ceci. Savez-vous comment je pourrais écrire : BON COURAGE A TOUTE LA FAMILLE dans une langue berbère la plus proche de celle parlée dans le Haut-Atlas (ce cher ami qui a perdu son papa habite dans "La Vallée heureuse") ? MERCI encore Hacene. Et le meilleur À vous, Alessandra.

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful pieces you sent me, they are even better then I thought as it is hard sometimes to get the feel from a picture. they are truly exquisite, a master craftsmen work. I was also wondering if I could get the rest of the earrings all 5 pairs of them, as I would like to use them to create something special, is it possible to get the same deal?I understand if not, My mind is thinking of what else I could get :). All the best. take care. Raphael.

I bought a hat and ceramic ashtray. I was very happy with the prices for handmade quality and style. I think it is a fabulous idea to sell handicrafts from Algeria and North Africa.
