The Evil Eye is long known to be a protection against both unintentional and intentional malevolent gazes. Since ancient times, many cultures, especially those along the Mediterranean, wore Evil Eye amulets to ward off wishes of bad luck from those with evil or envious thoughts.
This Evil Eye & Full Moon combines the protection of the eye with the phases of the moon - representing feminine energy and the lunar rhythms of life.
How it's made, courtesy of the creator: Original pen and ink drawing is laser engraved into balsa wood, then sanded down each piece, stain, hand paint and seal. They also make the brass beads in their studio.
