Evil Eye Jewelry: Meaning and How to Wear It
Share
The evil eye is one of the most loved symbols in jewelry. People wear it as a small personal reminder, as a gift for someone special, or simply because they love the design. Here is what it traditionally stands for and how to wear it in a way that looks effortless.
What does the evil eye symbol mean?
The evil eye is traditionally associated with protection and positive energy. In many cultures around the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Latin America, people believe an envious glance can bring bad luck, and the symbol is worn or displayed to guard against it. In Spanish it is known as mal de ojo, and the amulet is often called ojo turco. Meaning is personal, and many people wear it as a quiet reminder of the good energy they want to carry with them.
What color is the evil eye?
It is most often shown in blue, with a dark center, but there is no rule. You will also find it in other colors, such as green.
How to wear evil eye jewelry
- Start with one piece. A single ring, bracelet or pair of studs is enough. The symbol reads clearly when it stands alone.
- Keep the rest simple. Pair it with a plain tee, a white shirt or a simple dress.
- Layer with similar tones. If the eye is silver, add thin silver chains or bands. If it is gold, do the same with gold.
- Mix a ring and a bracelet. Two small eyes on the same hand look planned, not busy.
- Give it as a gift. It is a thoughtful, small gift for someone starting something new or for a friend.
