Oh I was wondering about the hand I saw it a few times whilst searching, so its pretty much the same?

Yeah pretty much I guess, most of them include the evil eye

from wiki

One explanation for the symbol is that it is designed to ward off the evil eye - five fingers in the eye to blind the jealous or malevolent person.

I love Charlotte Casiraghi's evil eye bracelet...love the colour!

I used to have one my parents got during a trip to Istanbul which had 4 or 5 different colours on it...it still fits but I tend to wear it in the summer with a lot of layered leather/braided colorful bracelets...

I was recently searching for evil eye on ebay and they have some most gorgeus pieces on there
most of them are made of silver and stones but seriously the are soooooo nice.
PS:I believe in that too actually. I have them hanging in my house by the main door in the living room and one in my car

im curious, whats the story behind the 'evil eye'
im intrigued by the jewelery.. a lot of it is really beautiful.

 

[ChrissyM]

my understanding is that it's supposed to ward off the "evil eye" if someone is giving you the evil eye, so to speak...
and also if you're receiving compliments/attention, to ward off the evil eye in that way as well (same way that if something is going too well something bad is bound to happen)

just a protection sort of charm really...

i'm sure there is a more sophisticated or mystical way of explaining...
i suppose we could all google it

 

[WidowOfCulloden]

OMG, being Greek, i'm so sick of them!!! They are everywhere over here and of course i own a bunch of them as it's a common gift here in Greece.

 

[WidowOfCulloden]

BTW, to anyone who is interested in learning about the whole superstition, the 'evil eye' is basicaly the fact of getting hurt after another person looks at you in a mean way (envy, jealousy, hate etc) or not (sometimes someone might give you a compliment or give you an intense look without meaning any harm and still give you the 'evil eye').
These charms are said that they absorb the bad luck (aka 'evil eye') that comes from the people around so it won't reach the person who is wearing it. So, there you go, hope i satisfied the curiosity of some of you!

^ Good explanation, thanks!

When I was browsing Liberty for Christmas presents a couple of weeks ago, I came across these lovely bracelets by Tai. Have a look...

The 'evil eye' myth can also have a very scientific explanation.

I've read that the eye disperses magnetic waves, so when you are staring at a person you send the magnetic waves, which influence in a way on the person physically or not.

That's why sometimes we feel that someone's staring at us, even if that person can be behind our back.

 

[saann]

^that's very interesting! thanks for posting, I've always wondered how you can "feel" someone looking at you.

 

[Andrea.RL]

Ohh I have one in my room that my cousin brought back from turky.
I love the symbols concerning eyes...

But now I'm confused... Isn't the evil eye negative and bad vibes? I saw a lot of other symbols that say they work against those things and they mention that they work against the evil eye...? Or is it pretty much the same thing as the eye of horus?

 

[Juicy]

I'm half Greek so I own a lot of evil eye jewellery...ive even still got the ones gifted to me when i was born. I dont know if i 100% buy into the story, but i juuust dont feel right without.

This is the one im wearing currently: (ehe i think its cute, one of the beads is missing its eye!)
