This charm is meant to protect from the "evil eye", a curse transmitted through envy and malicious glare. The amulet is meant to reflect the harm of the evil eyes of envious people wanting to inflict pain and wishing misfortune to others. Although often related to middle eastern traditions, belief in the evil eye and legends related to its curse existed in almost every culture: From ancient Egypt, to Romans, Greeks and Irish legends.
We love this charm because it is one of the most enduring amulets of humanity. It stands for something that humanity has in common, and its story shows that we all somehow come from the same place.
