An age-old tradition in several cultures is the use of protective charms in the form of jewelry. The evil eye is one of the most popular, especially in West Asia and the Mediterranean. It is believed to protect from evil energies. The color of the evil eye is also a major determinant of the purpose it serves. As such, deep blue is the best color, just like the Sapphire in these earrings. It symbolizes motivation, commitment, creativity, and positive energy. The evil eye stud earring features a prong set 2.0mm round cut Sapphire center stone, on an eye-shape mount. 12 each, total 24, prong set round cut diamonds border the evil eye on either earring. The Petite stud earring is crafted in 14 karat yellow gold. Total diamond weight is 1/10 ctw.
