Protective Evil Eye and Hamsa Hand Jewellery

Evil Eye, also known as a ‘Nazar’, is a ‘look’, ‘stare’ or ‘jealous glare’ that is believed to bring bad luck for the person whom it is directed towards.

Many cultures believe that receiving the evileye will cause misfortune, suffering, bad luck, or injury. Evil eye talismans and amulets with the symbol of the eye were created to give the wearer protection against the evil eye of bad luck and misfortune.

An ancient mystical symbol of protection that is meant to protect the wearer from the ‘evil eye’.

In Ancient Greece, it was believed that the ‘human eyes have the power to release invisible rays of energy that can be potent enough to harm humans or animals.’ Evil eye amulets help us deflect this negative energy from affecting us.

Amulets and talismans of the evil eye are also popularly known as "evil eyes" themselves, even though they are created to protect against the evil eye.

It’s believed and people say that there are three types of evil eyes. The first is an unconscious evil eye that harms people and things without any intention, the second one intends to harm, while the third one can accidentally be given to ourselves, which is the scariest one for me.

The accidental evil eye can be caused by over-praise and over-adoration, including over self-praise and self-adoration, especially if it’s more than deserved.

Even if it's just for superstitious reasons, the power of the evil eye is still widely believed in. There are numerous myths about its origin and various methods of evil eye protection against it found in different cultures, the general idea of the curse is the same.

The Evil Eye has more than 25 different names in different countries and cultures around the world today!

For example, the Greek evil eye is known as ‘mati’, the Turkish evil eye is known as ‘nazar’, in Spanish it is known as ‘mal de ojo’, the Italian evil eye is called ‘malocchio’ and many other different names in different countries.

Protection from the evil eye is something that many people desperately want. People wear evil eye and hamsa hand jewelry as a symbol of protection against bad luck. The evil eye symbol is one of the oldest symbols in the world, and you’ll likely see the evil eye symbol staring at you wherever you go these days.

It is believed that the evil eye brings the wearer prosperity, protection, and good health. Different cultures have many different ways of protecting against the evil eye, but wearing eye jewelry and evil eye amulets are amongst the most common practices.

Many popular celebrities have been spotted wearing evil eye protection jewelry. Amongst them is the royal princess Meghan Markle. Even Meghan is a believer in the power of the evil eye. She has often been seen wearing evil eye jewelry, including a sterling silver evil eye necklace featuring a gem-studded evil eye symbol, to protect her from negative energies.

Also, different evil eye colors have come to mean different things. Other popular Hollywood stars seen wearing evil eye jewelry include Brad Pitt, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Rhianna, Miley Cyrus, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Lauren Conrad, Heidi Klum, Marie Kate, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Richie, and Rita Ora.
Personally, I just love the eye symbol and its shape. For me, the eyes always fascinate and are the most powerful and meaningful part of the human body. Although the evil eye symbol may have cultural and religious roots, as time has passed, the symbol has also become a fashion statement.

Evil eye jewelry can easily be incorporated into everyday life, whether you're attracted to the symbol because of its style, want protection from bad luck, or both!

It can easily be said that the evil eye is a popular evergreen fashion trend in the United States, even though the belief in the evil eye comes from countries and cultures outside of the US.

The Evil Eye can also often be seen with other symbols. The most popular of these is the Hamsa Hand, also known as the ‘hand with eye’ or ‘evil eye hand’.

The Hamsa Hand is a symbol of protection and blessings, and like the evil eye, this hand symbol also transcends modern-day countries, cultures, and religions. It is also known as the Hand of Fatima, the Hand of Miriam, the Hand of Mary, and the Hand of the Goddess.

If that isn’t the sign of a divine symbol - I don’t know what is!

In fact, many celebrities have also been spotted wearing hamsa jewelry, including Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston. Hamsa hand jewelry includes hamsa evil eye necklace, hamsa bracelets, hamsa pendants, hamsa rings, hamsa charm beads, hamsa earrings, and hamsa keychains.

To sum it up, before the alphabet, words, and languages there were symbols. And the Evil Eye and Hamsa hand are both symbols that have been with humanity since inception, and will probably come with us to the moon, mars, and beyond!
