Healing Crystal Hamsa Necklace by Ariana Ost

The Hamsa is a symbol of protection against the evil eye, commonly found in jewelry or wall hangings. Hands are also known as symbols for giving, strength, and a helping hand. The crystals featured on this necklace are rough diamonds, mini herkimer diamonds and crushed healing crystals (black tourmaline, apatite, blue calcite and sodalite). Each necklace is made with recycled materials and uses ethically sourced crystals.

Ariana Ost, a design atelier based in New York City, represents a deep Jewish heritage and a commitment to holistic wellness. Named in honor of the late Dafna Ost, the mother of co-founder Ariana and wife of co-founder Jack Haber, the brand stands as a tribute to the resilience and spirit of their ancestors.

The maternal grandparents of Ariana were Holocaust survivors, valiant freedom fighters, and founders of the state of Israel. Their enduring strength and dedication to freedom deeply influence the mission at Ariana Ost, which strives to create objects that not only beautify spaces but also imbue them with soul and meaningful resonance. Ariana's grandfather, Jack Ost, was a pioneer in the first Yom Ha'atzmaut parade, marking a pivotal moment in the family's legacy. On the Haber side, the family faced religious persecution in Egypt, leading to a dramatic upheaval and eventual resettlement in America. This journey of resilience and reinvention is woven into every piece created by the Ariana Ost brand, celebrating the freedom and heritage that define the family's story.

Founded by the father-daughter duo Jack and Ariana Haber, Ariana Ost merges Jewish traditions with a contemporary approach to wellness and design. Each item is crafted to be a modern-day heirloom, inviting individuals to partake in the narrative and create their own stories. Through Ariana Ost, the legacy of the past continues to inspire and guide future generations, bringing meaning and celebration into everyday life.
