Evil Eye 🧿 

 

Did you know the "evil eye," also recognized as nazar, is not only a captivating emblem in jewelry but also serves as a symbol of protection? Originating around 3,000 to 5,000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia, the concept of the evil eye holds a deep-rooted place in various cultures and religions, including Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions.

The belief centers on the idea that receiving a malevolent stare can bring about misfortune, misery, or even physical harm. To counteract these negative energies, cultures have adopted the tradition of wearing evil eye amulets or jewelry. These are not just fashionable accessories; they are considered powerful protectors that shield the wearer from all sorts of harm and misfortune.

Interestingly, there's a widespread notion that if your evil eye amulet breaks, it means it has absorbed a significant amount of negative energy and has fulfilled its protective purpose. At this point, it's advised to replace it to ensure continued protection.

Whether you sport it as a stylish piece or embrace its protective properties, the evil eye continues to be a meaningful and influential symbol in many societies across the globe.
