Vintage Evil Eye Earrings
Cool vintage hoop earrings with bright blue glass evil eye pendant drops. The eyes are set in 14 carat yellow gold, dangling from 18 carat hinged creole hoops. Circa 1990.
The Evil Eye, a curse dating back at least 5000 years, is cast by a malevolent glare that catches receiver unaware. Prevalent in the cultures of the Mediterranean and south, west and central Asia, the specific meaning varies: for some it is an apotropaic magic, a protective, supernatural force that either casts or reflects back a malevolent gaze onto those who wish harm on others; but for others simply receiving the Evil Eye brings misfortune or injury. Protective blue glass eye amulets have been made and worn for millennia, by Phoenicians and Persians, Arabs and Indians, Greeks, Romans and Ottomans alike.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
