In brighter spirits since her divorce, Madonna is pictured here leaving an event. Yes, the trendy blazer and fedora caught our eye, but we also noticed Madge wearing a hamsa necklace. For those not “in the know,” the hamsa symbol is said to ward off the evil eye and offer protection. We have looked to Madonna for fashion and music trends in the past (ie: the iconic wedding dress at MTV Video Music Awards performance for “Like a Virgin”) and once we saw Madonna wearing the hamsa we knew she was onto something special. Madge has been an advocate for sporting interests close to her, Kabbalah bracelets alike, and has now added hamsa to her list. Luckily, many of the designers available at Max and Chloe have accessories boasting the hamsa charm.
Similar to Madonna’s necklace, the gold plated Ettika Lace Hamsa Necklace features a turquoise stone, perfect to warding off the evil eye. The crisp detail in this necklace is unmatched, and we love the unique paring with the stone for a bit of flair. If you are looking for a silver version of the hamsa necklace, try Brian Danielle Diamond Evil Eye Hamsa Necklace. This silver diamond necklace features sapphire stones, which are ultra posh and very unique. Not only will the hamsa charm stand out, but the sapphires will attract a flurry of compliments.
Since we can’t get enough of stackable bracelets and beads, Sydney Evan Wood Bead Hamsa Bracelet, Blu Bijoux Silver Hamsa Bracelet and Ettika Lace Hamsa Wrap Leather Bracelet are perfect paired together or separately, mixed with other bracelets and bangles from Max and Chloe. With different styles and colors to choose from, adding a hamsa bracelet, necklace or pair of earrings to your ensemble is easy and affordable. We can’t wait to see everyone rocking the hamsa charm! Don’t forget to follow @MaxandChloe on Twitter for the latest trends, blogs and exclusive sales!

The price of gold has been rising in the past year, making our favorite jewelry staple less affordable. The Commonwealth Bank has just anticipated that the price of gold will continue to fluctuate until September. With the US dollar in the state that it is and the price of gold rising, it’s time to find alternatives, in order to protect our pocketbooks and our fashion sense.
Ettika offers a multitude of casual and fun designs, from Hamsa necklaces to peace sign rosaries.
For bangle lovers, Blu’s Neon Bangle Set is an extraordinary display of eye-catching, technicolor style. These bangles are the perfect summer accessory and can be paired with a cute summery dress or used to dress down evening attire.
Another elegant substitute for gold is silver. Christie Martin’s Silver Graffiti Ring combines the best of both worlds: the elegance of silver with the youthfulness of graffiti type. This ring can also be personalized.
With so many great alternatives to gold available, it’s hard to understand why it takes the crisis of rising prices in order for us to explore unusual jewelry!
