Handcrafted by Thailand's Khun Watsud, this beautiful earring set takes the form of an amulet known as the hamsa, which means 'five' in Arabic. Popular in Jewish culture, its five fingers can represent the five books of the Torah and the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which represents one of the holy names of God. It is also a reminder to praise God with all five senses. Handcrafted of sterling silver .925, the earrings showcase woven rope filigree art. Great for women of all ages and a charming pair of earrings for Jewish people and believers of all faiths.
Artisan Watsud is from Lampang, a city located in the northern Thailand on the banks of the Wang River. As a young child, she would visit the local markets with her mother and sisters. She was amazed by the beautiful jewelry that the local vendors were selling. From these experiences, her interest for creating her own jewelry pieces bloomed into a passion. She has turned that passion into a successful family business that she runs with her sisters.
“My designs are a combination of new and trendy designs with traditional influences. I love to mix the old with the new to create something different. I love fashion from all over the world and this variety influences some of my pieces. I believe that beauty is found everywhere, so I try to look at things with an open mind. I never know where I will find the inspiration for my next design.” -Watsud
