| 14K Gold Chain Find With Pendants |
Perhaps the most common pendants you will find are Christian. That has been true for me. You'll find a lot of Christian medallions, crosses and crucifixes. They are common and easy to identify, but you'll find symbols used by other religions as well. Below is a similar gold box chain with two Jewish symbols.

| 14K Box Chain Find With Two Pendants. |
Box chaines are nice. They hang and flow nicely. These two are very similar and both have two religious pendants of similar size, though of different religions.
One of the pendants on the second chain is very common and recognizable. It is the hand of God.
In Israel, the hamsa hand is as prominent as the Star of David. It’s on necklaces, keychains, bracelets, and even walls. The hamsa hand pendant is worn far and wide in Israel. However, what is a hamsa hand? We are going to go over the origins of this symbol, as well as its meaning today...
The hamsa hand is a symbol consisting of an eye that is placed within the palm of an opened hand. It has usually designed to be symmetrical, with a second thumb on the opposing side to provide a sense of balance. The hand is usually pointing downward.

If any one can tell me what the twisted triangle is called and translate the words on it, I'd appreciate it.
At one time I knew a little Hebrew, but just discovered that I've forgotten all of the very little that I did know.

Looks like we will have a little tropical activity. For us, that will mean rain, but not a lot of surf.
