These earrings not only look fabulous, but they can be used to ward off curses and bad intentions. The posts display glittering evil eyes while the chains hold Hamsa hands as well as the backers that fasten behind the ears. Simple, yet stunning. The first mention of the evil eye was found on clay tablets uncovered in Mesopotamia. The evil eye was a common theme in Ancient Greek literature. It was thought that people could emit harmful rays from their eyes toward others. The evil eye charm was used to reflect those harmful rays. The first charms to protect against the evil eye appeared in the 6th century BC. Belief in the evil eye spread when Alexander the Great took the Greek culture to the east. Today, the belief remains strong in Greece. The Hamsa hand is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet symbolizing the Hand of God. In many faiths, it is a protective sign. It brings its owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. DETAILS .925 Sterling Silver with 14K Gold Plating Dark Blue and
