Amulet Charm Jewelry: The Evil Eye and Hamsa

The Evil Eye and Hamsa are more than just stunning designs, they are ancient symbols that bestow the wearer with their protection. The spiritual jewelry bearing these symbols is incredibly popular due to its iconic silhouette and universal message.

According to international folklore, these intriguing charms shield the person wearing them from harmful negative energy. Those bearing the Evil Eye are said to avoid misfortune by empowering the luminous blue eye to deflect jealous thoughts. Frequently, the Evil Eye appears in the outstretched palm of the Hamsa which is a symbol of healing that translates in English to the word “five.” One of the reasons this symbol bears that title is due to the five fingers on the outstretched hand, which can also appear upside down or with a double-thumb design.

Max & Chloe offers a wide selection of these lucky charms for every budget. For a luxe touch, the fine jewelry designs are crafted of diamonds, crystals, and gold. The Mystic Light turquoise and 14k rose gold Hamsa necklace ($671) outlines the hand in .22 carats of diamonds and adorns it with a turquoise stone. The Brian Danielle small diamond Hamsa necklace ($425) has a 14k yellow-gold Hamsa pendant that shines with pave diamonds on a 16-inch chain.

For a more modest rendition, try the red string bracelets with either a goldtone crystal-detailed Hamsa charm ($46) or a sterling silver crystal-detailed Evil Eye charm ($46).

The Ettika Large Hamsa Beaded bracelet ($75) allows you to choose the color of the painted wood beads for a customized look and features a radiant Hamsa charm with etched details.

Whether you select a necklace, bracelet, or ring as a gift to yourself or your loved ones, know that the true beauty of the piece is in its protective powers.
