This cut-out evil eye pendant is striking for its addition of radiating zig-zag elements both above and below the almond-shaped eye. The jagged lines give the impression of supernatural power, much the way a lightning bolt symbol can evoke mighty other-worldly powers. The tiny 'pupil' – which is at the center of both the eye and the pendant - gives the eye a mesmerizing touch.

For centuries all sorts of amulets, talismans and charms similar to these earrings have been worn as protection against the harm and evil that come about because of an ill-wisher's malicious stare, or Evil Eye.
