Evil Eye Macrame Bracelet – Sterling Silver Yianni Jewelry
Handcrafted, sterling silver, good luck eye charm with macrame bracelet.
Silver creations of Yianni Jewelry, created by Garbis Khacherian, a silversmith trader since 1987.
The evil eye is a look that is believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. Attempts to ward off the curse of the evil eye has resulted in a number of talismans in many cultures. Balls, consisting of concentric blue and white circles (usually, from inside to outside, dark blue, light blue, white, dark blue) representing an evil eye are common apotropaic talismans in the Middle East, which are supposed to bend the malicious gaze back to the sorcerer.
