At Beautifulee Created, we believe in combining timeless spiritual protection with statement-making style. Let’s explore what makes Evil Eye jewelry more than just an accessory.
Where the Evil Eye Comes From
The Evil Eye symbol can be traced across many cultures— from Mesopotamia, ancient Greece and Rome to the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. The evil eye symbol, primarily known as a protective amulet, is believed to have originated in ancient Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) known as "ad-gir" meaning evil eye in Sumerian.

History of Evil eye in Indian and South Asian cultures
The symbol and belief have spread through trade, migration, and cultural exchange over thousands of years.
Though it appears in different forms, the meaning is consistent: the Evil Eye is believed to be a curse cast by a jealous glare, often when someone envies your beauty, success, or happiness.
To combat that, people began wearing protective talismans to reflect that negative energy back to the sender. The most popular of these became the Evil Eye amulet—a charm usually designed with a circular blue eye, meant to watch over you and keep you spiritually safe.
The Modern-Day Comeback
