Evil Eye

The symbol and superstition of the evil eye is one of the strongest symbolic images in the world. The earliest known evidence for belief in the evil eye goes back to ancient Greece and Rome. It is supposed to wear off evil to anyone who wears it and various cultures believe in that, however in Greece it’s blue because at that time blue eyes were not so common and were thought to give the evil eye, so the blue is like a mirror to them.

Filigree is a delicate kind of jewellery metalwork, made with tiny beads or twisted threads, or both in combination, soldered together or to the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs. The art of filigree dates back to ancient history. The first of the found jewelry in this technique has been found in Mesopotamia and dates to thousands of years BC. In the ancient world and particularly in Asia Minor, this art grew at the highest level.
