Evil Eye Necklace 18K Gold-Plated

Blue evil eye necklace handmade in Istanbul, Turkey, using the art of lamp-working, a traditional glass-working technique. Choose between two color options: a light, more transparent blue, or a darker, classic blue. The evil eye pendant is made from lampwork glass, with a gold-plated frame and is 20mm wide. The chain is 18 inches long with a 2 inch extension and a lobster clasp. Both the chain and the pendant are 18K gold plated stainless steel. The Evil Eye is the belief that an envious look can be cursed and cause harm and misfortune. The blue color is thought to have unique power and can reflect back any evil energy. The belief in some version of the evil eye is found in many cultures in Central/South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Amulets to protect from evil eyes have existed for thousands of years - the oldest known amulet was found in modern day Syria and dates back to 5,000 years ago.
