925 Sterling Silver Evil Eye Blue Enamel CZ Earrings
The evil eye is the oldest protective symbol in the world. The belief that a malevolent glance — cast by a person consumed by envy or ill will — can cause harm to the person it falls upon is one of the most widespread and most ancient beliefs in human history, found in cultures from the Mediterranean to the Middle East to South Asia to Latin America, documented in texts dating back to ancient Mesopotamia more than five thousand years ago. The protection against the evil eye is the eye itself — the blue eye amulet that watches back, that meets the malevolent gaze with its own gaze, that deflects the harmful energy by reflecting it. In Turkey, the nazar boncuğu — the blue glass eye bead — hangs in homes, on babies, on cars, on the walls of shops and restaurants, everywhere that protection is needed. In Greece, the mati — the eye — is worn as jewelry, painted on boats, embedded in the walls of churches. The blue color is essential: blue is the color of the sky and the sea, the color that is most associated with the divine and the protective in the Mediterranean tradition, the color that the evil eye cannot penetrate. The evil eye enamel earring takes this most ancient and most universal protective symbol and renders it in 925 sterling silver, white zircon CZ, and vitreous enamel — the blue that is most permanent and most vivid. Choose dark blue enamel for the eye that is the color of the deep sea — the most traditional and most powerful expression of the evil eye, the deep, saturated blue that has been the color of protection for five thousand years. Or choose light blue enamel for the eye that is the color of the sky — the softer, more contemporary expression of the same ancient protection. This 925 sterling silver earring sets white zircon CZ stones in the eye design with enamel using the inlay and enamel techniques, in 14K gold plating, at 1.46g. The earring that watches over you.
