Dating back to about 3000 B.C., the evil eye symbol has been a good luck charm worn by many cultures to ward off negative energy. Even today, people of Middle East society believe that if someone compliments you and is envious of your good fortune, some type of bad luck will befall you. Wearing the evil eye talisman casts those negative energies back on the envious person and protects the wearer.

An evil eye symbol is usually a single eye image on a blue background. Although the evil eye can be different colors, blue is symbolic of water and prosperity in Middle Eastern culture, where it is a precious resource. In Jewish culture red is often used as it is a sign of good luck and fortune.

Today, many jewelry designs feature the evil eye. Whether worn for protection or just as a signature piece, evil eye jewelry makes a bold statement with any outfit.
