The evil eye (or 'mati' in Greek, meaning 'eye') is a superstitious token believed in Greece and in other parts of the Balkans and near east, to protect the wearer from malicious thoughts or wishes; its origin is ancient, possibly originating in Minoan Greece. Typically the eye should be blue, to repel evil thoughts from blue eyed people, as it is thought that blue eyed people are particularly prone to 'give' the evil eye! It is often combined in Greece with a cross (to represent orthodox christianity).

 

This hand made necklace and bracelet set is crafted in Greece with solid silver and features an intricate evil eye disc design made from hand placed zircon jewels on a hammered silver base. The hammered silver undulating disc gives a modern twist to this classic Greek design. The fenestrations on the disc allow light to pass through enhancing the dazzle of the high quality zircon jewels. Add a touch of elegance and protection to any outfit with this unique and expertly crafted set.

Bracelet evil eye disc 1.5 cm diameter; necklace disc 2cm diameter. 

Lovely gift of pure olive oil soap with a stainless steel or brass key ring with Greek theme. Choices include evil eye mor if’s with charm, or a brass Minoan lady.
