Evil Eye
The evil eye is a sacred symbol used for centuries as protection against negative spirits in Mediterranean culture. Its spiritual meaning dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, and today can be seen printed across boats, bags and above doorways to ward off evil, and of course, jewellery. Legend has it that the evil eye works as a shield for envy, reflecting any evil back to where it came from and protecting its owner from any harmful spirits.
Heart
A symbol of love, affection, loyalty and friendship, the heart’s talismanic powers are well documented and easily understood. Its ubiquitous nature only serves to strengthen its appeal – a deep human yearning to love and be loved in return. When worn as jewellery, its owner is reminded of a special relationship or bond.
