Eye Collection The charms are believed to reflect evil and protect the wearer from physical harm that can befall the object of "negative thinking". This ancient belief in Evil Eye Protection stretches back before recorded history. It is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible (Proverbs 28:22: "A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth And does not know that want will come upon him.") and may be descended from beliefs of the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians. Belief in the evil eye is also well-known in many countries in the Mediterranean area and in the Indian Sub-continent.

It somewhat resembles an eye and it is said the typical blue color is a factor in protecting the user.
