Since the 13th century, two hands are featured on the coat of arms of the city of Antwerp. The Antwerpse Handjes necklace is a subtle symbol to showcase the love for your city. A hand also generally symbolizes friendship, generosity and hospitality. A beautiful gift for someone who has fond memories of Antwerp or for that friend who always welcomes you with open arms (or hands in this case). All orders are beautifully gift wrapped for free.
