Evil eye jewellery

The evil eye (the mati) is the Mediterranean's best-loved symbol of protection: worn in Cyprus and Greece to turn away bad luck and envy, and given to newborns, new homes and the people we love. Azure Chic has made evil eye jewellery part of its collection since 2014, from dainty sterling silver bracelets to gold-plated hoops and necklaces.

Evil eye jewellery: questions

What does the evil eye mean?
The evil eye (mati in Greek, nazar in Turkish) is an ancient Mediterranean symbol of protection. Wearing it is believed to turn away bad luck and the envious looks of others.
Which colour evil eye is best?
Dark blue is the classic colour, traditionally linked with protection and calm. Light blue, turquoise and other colours are mostly a matter of style and personal meaning.
Which wrist should you wear an evil eye bracelet on?
There is no fixed rule. Many people wear it on the left wrist, closer to the heart, but the tradition is simply to wear it where you will see it every day.
Can you buy evil eye jewellery for yourself?
Yes. A popular belief says the evil eye protects best when it is a gift, which is why it is a favourite present, but buying your own is just as common.
Is the evil eye a Cypriot tradition?
Yes. In Cyprus and Greece the mati is everywhere: pinned to babies' clothes, hung in new homes and cars, and worn as jewellery by people of every age.
Do you deliver evil eye jewellery outside Cyprus?
Yes. Azure Chic ships from Limassol, with free shipping on orders from €30 in Cyprus and worldwide.
