Product Details for 'Evil Eye' Chrome & Rhinestone Earrings

Be charmed by a bit of folklore. These square chrome & glass ‘Evil Eye’ earring attempts to protect against the myth of the ‘evil eye’ curse. Belief is strongest in the Middle East, Asia and the Mediterranean regions and has spread to the Americas. The 0.6" glass ‘evil eye’, these  stunning classic pierced earrings are sure add a bit of glitz to any outfit.

Legend says the 'evil eye' belief had its genesis amongst the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians (Southern Iraq). The folklore suggests especially people with blue eyes, however enchanting and attractive their eyes may look may harbor negative feelings about others. The ‘Evil Eye’ belief says that when someone eyes your good fortune with jealousy, bad luck in some form may befall you. The bead reflects the evil intent back to the onlooker. It somewhat resembles an eye and it is said the typical blue color is a factor in protecting the user. 

Some people contribute everything they love or appreciate with these blue ‘evil eye’ charms. They attach an eye bead to the clothes of a new-born baby, buy gifts with this good luck charm for their sweethearts and friends, bring gifts with an eye bead for a new office or a new car. You may see some form of  blue eyes amulet anywhere, to ward off the ‘evil eye'.

At almost every stage of human history, man has looked for the assistance of magic objects called talismans or amulets to defy evil forces. Even the modern religions with a single God (monotheistic) have their own symbols.
