Evil eye bracelet and protection from the Evil Eye

Before getting an evil eye bracelet, we should clarify the meaning of the evil eye.

So what is the evil eye?

In accordance with numerous groups across the globe, the evil eye is a look or stare that is believed to potentially cause damage or bad luck for the individual at whom it is directed. This injury or bad luck is a result of resentment and aversion, regardless of whether or not those exceptionally negative feelings are intended. The evil eye can be found throughout several cultures such as Italian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman, and references to the resentful glare are incorporated into many traditions and customs, including (but not limited to) those of the Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic and Hindu communities.

How does one get protection from the evil eye?

There are multiple ways to stay protected from the evil eye, as some jewelry and decorative pieces were made specifically to thwart this vindictive stare and keep people protected and blessed. For example, Hamsa is a hand-shaped amulet that is commonly found in jewelry and ornamental pieces. The Hamsa portrays an open hand with three extended fingers in the middle and usually a bent thumb on both sides. It is employed as a symbol of overall fortification, sanctifications and strength, as well as protection specifically against the damaging evil eye.  Hamsa hand bracelet makes a favorable choice among evil eye jewelry. This Hamsa bracelet is designed in Israel

Coming from the world of the Kabbalah, the Red String is also used for fortification against the evil eye. It is a modest bracelet that is worn on the left wrist. A novel red string bracelet would be cut from a lengthier piece of red string which was bounded around the tomb of Rachel, the matriarch of the Bible. This is an ancient remedy to protect its wearer from danger.  Other amulets that thwart the evil stare include fish (since fish live in the water, they are safe from the malicious stare) as well as eye symbols. Eye symbols are thought to reflect evil, similar to a shield effect, protecting the wearer against bad luck. As demonstrated, there are many talismans to thwart the evil eye and to bring more positive energies into one’s life.


Rubies are believed to bring light into the dark places in a person’s life; therefore, ruby pendants are used as a form of protection against the evil eye. They are also believed to protect against impure thoughts.
