Evil Eye Necklace


Do you believe in the Evil Eye?
For many centuries, cultures from all over the world believed that through a jealous remark or an envious stare bad luck could be bestowed upon others. As a protective barrier, Evil Eye Jewelry was created to stare back at the eyes of harm. Traditionally, these jewels brought happiness, love, success, and wealth to their keepers.
Chikitik's “evil eye” jewelry designs offer ancient talisman in modern, feminine, cool, hip, even glamorous and fabulous form.
 Today, Evil Eye Jewelry is not only worn as a superstitious jewel, but it has now become a meticulous fashion statement. Although the traditional aspect remains, these jewels have been translated into modern day craze. Bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings, and anklets are now made available to express your personal persona. The eye itself is typically made from the finest murano glass, which can be incorporated with silver and gold.



Meaning of Colors in evil eye:

Blue: The traditional color for good karma, positive energies and protection against the Evil Eye
Light Blue: Color of the sky – symbolizes truth and therefore it provides direct protection against the Evil Eye.
Green: resembling the color of growing grass and therefore stands for hope and personal growth.
Yellow: the color of sunshine, the main source of energy for all living creatures. Thus, it stands for health, strength and healing.
Orange: It is associated with joy and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
Red: is the color of love and blood, so it is associated with energy, strength, power, determination as well as passion and desire. Due to these associations it is the most powerful color for protection against the evil eye. This is the color that is practiced in Kabbalah.
Purple: associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.
Pink: the color of universal love. Emotional love of self and others , friendship, affection, harmony and inner peace.
Brown: the color of the Earth, and is very comforting, nurturing, fertile, stable and balance.
Beige-Kaki: a neutral color that brings stability to those who need it the most. Also known for achievement and success.
Black: is associated with Prosperity and wealth. It is a very powerful color that symbolizes strength and power.
White: light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness and therefore it cleans negative energies and turns them into positive energies.

Do we think these meaning really "work”? We certainly believe that a symbolic gesture of love, such as giving the gift of our “eye”  jewelry, surrounds and shields the wearer with good vibes. That’s the great thing about love: one size fits all.
