If you're curious about this jewelry trend and would like to add it to your style, then this page will give you the tips on how to wear it and resources on where to buy the best and affordable hamsa jewelry online.

I was quite surprised when this trend came out because I've always thought of the hamsa symbol as something sacred in Islam and Jewish religions. However, I got smitten by the hand and created my own hamsa bracelet with multi-colored and gold-filled beads :)

The hamsa is known as an amulet protection in many religions but it has turned into a fashion trend, tickling bohonistas interest because of the exotic and inspirational look.

I believe this trend will stay for a very long time because most women find this type of jewelry encouraging and often turn it into something personal (if not spiritual).

Let's take a look at some tips on how this amulet works:

A Chic Tip on How to Wear Hamsa Jewelry

The hamsa necklace and hamsa bracelet are the two most appropriate jewelry styles for a chic look. It just doesn't look right with small hands dangling from both of your earsÂ… It's just too flashy.

Instead, wear it around your neck layered with a cardigan and a scarf, or around your wrist along with other trendy bracelets.

How to Buy Hamsa Jewelry

This brings me back to my advice-page on buying fashion jewelry. Here's the low-down:

    If you're buying a hamsa necklace then I suggest you pick the right metal and colors for your skin tone, hair and eyes. Since you'll be wearing it close to your face you can score exra on looking fabulous by wearing colors that look good on you. Cool metals and colors such as silver, white gold and clear white look best on women with bluish-pinkish undertone. However, warm colors and metals such as red, brown and gold flatter golden/peachy complexions. If you're not sure what group you belong to then I suggest you take a seasonal color analysis.

    If you've completely fallen for a jewelry piece and plan on wearing it for a very long time, then I highly recommend you to buy hamsa jewelry in quality gold or silver. Meaning, you should go for materials that won't quickly tarnish. Examples of quality metals are: gold-filled, gold karat 12 and up and sterling silver. The downside of buying really cheap jewelry is that it has a very thin coating of gold or silver metal which will start to lose its color after just a couple of months (a lot faster if you sweat because the salt makes the metal tarnish a lot easier).
