For now, I'm aiming for the Collection to be a total of about 7 or 9 pieces (the first 3 are ready!). However, I haven’t decided yet if the colors of this series will be the [7 Chakras’ Colors](https://www.chakra.es/los-colores-de-los-chakras/), or if they’ll be 9/11 taking in consideration white, gold and silver [(aspects of the human aura, or important colors on the spirituality subject). ](https://laguiaesoterica.com/esoterismo/colores-del-aura/) </div> - - - <center><h2>• What’s a "Hamsa"?
