Protective Pendant

This pendant symbolizes the protective and healing energy associated with the hand in Native American culture, often linked to ceremonies and medicine. This hand-inspired pendant holds protective attributes including guarding against negativity, empowering the wearer, channeling positive energy, healing and comfort. 

The original pendants were tufa cast and I have made these pendants since high school and given them to friends and family to keep them safe.  The new design is of a digital scan of the artist's hand, resin printed and then lost resin casted. The chosen stones amplify the protective properties of this symbolic image of the hand. Each stone creates a powerful talisman with deep protective and spiritual significance.
