Provides by Shari Pedowitz infuses the hamsa with her signature energy, transforming it into a vibrant celebration of life’s abundance, joy, and flow. Rooted in Jewish tradition, the hamsa becomes a symbol of protection and blessing, but with a sense of movement and freedom. Shari’s curving, swirling lines and an expansive palette of YInMn blue, gold, rose gold, red, and hot pink — accented with glitter — blur the boundaries of tradition, creating a space where the sacred feels alive and accessible.
 
Fluid and organic, Shari’s hamsa radiates exuberance, offering its blessings in a way that feels spontaneous, sensual, and empowering. Each color contrasts and complements, inviting you into a world of warmth, openness, and positive energy. Her rich hues speak to both wealth and health, while her playful glitter elements add a layer of sparkle that feels both luxurious and lighthearted.
 
Provides is an invitation to embrace life’s rhythms with joy, to dance with its unpredictability, and to trust in the support and protection available to us from the world around us, whether from the natural world, our community, or our own inner strength. Shari’s playful, optimistic approach amplifies the hamsa’s traditional role as a protector, transforming it into a vessel of lightness, warmth, and celebration of the fullness of life.
