I have never seen blue stones like this on a hamsa. Very nice.

I believe that is is a replacement for something that went missing. It appears to be a vintage pressed glass flower bead, probably Czech. We've had many large (one was 8 inches long!) 5 foulet hamsas and most have dark blue and dark green glass. One had a central coral bead, but I suspect that it was replacing a piece of blue glass. Blue is also a color that wards off the evil eye, but it seems that as a color it is more favored in the Middle East and Turkey.
