Evil Eye

The Evil Eye is a symbol that is widely believed to ward off negativity and misfortune. It is a popular motif in jewellery, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where it has been used for centuries.

The history of the evil eye can be traced back to Ancient Greece and Rome. The belief was that certain people had the power to cast a curse on others simply by looking at them. The curse could cause harm, illness, or even death. To protect themselves from the curse, people began using amulets or charms with the image of an eye on them.

In many cultures, the evil eye is believed to be caused by jealousy or envy. It is thought that when someone feels jealous or envious of another person, their negative energy is transmitted through their gaze and can cause harm to the recipient. To protect against this, people wear amulets or charms with the image of an eye, which is believed to deflect the negative energy.

The evil eye symbol is known by different names in different cultures. In Greece, it is called "mati," in Turkey, it is called "nazar," and in Arabic, it is called "ayin harsha." In each culture, the symbol is slightly different, but it generally features an eye with a blue or green iris, surrounded by white or light blue.

The use of the evil eye symbol in jewelry is popular in many cultures, including Greek, Turkish, and Middle Eastern. It is often incorporated into bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, and is believed to offer protection to the wearer
