Going slightly OT here... Catherine, you probably already know this
but the Hand of Fatima has appeared under various names in a number
of different cultures. I am most familiar with the Jewish
representation and name ("hamsa"). I do not know the Muslim parable
behind the symbol, but in Judaism it's the protective hand of God...
if you don't mind getting them from an Israeli source as opposed to
Moroccan, you can get hamsa earrings from www.jewishsource.com...
though I admit that getting them from Kenzi would be much, much
cooler : )
