Once available only in flea markets, evil eye jewelry is a prominent feature today, showing up in both enameled and gemstone creations. Meghan Markle (yes, Harry’s wife) wears one she purchased in Athens. Celebrities like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Madonna have been spotted wearing them. According to a recent article in Town and Country magazine, the concept is very prominent in Western Asia, parts of South America and the Mediterranean.

Seeking Good Luck
Magazines are noting increased popularity in this talisman in recent months as folks look for ways to boost their luck during these challenging times. The evil eye is thought to protect the wearer from evil spirits and harm and bring love, wealth and happiness – all good stuff! Ancient Phoenicians supposedly strung them together as beads to form necklaces. Unlike other wearable good luck talismans (think enameled four leaf clovers, jewel-encrusted horseshoes and elephants, and hamsa palm-shaped pendants) the evil eye, in some circles, is also thought to bring bad luck to viewers who wish the wearer harm.
