Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1860

The evil eye is a curse from Greek culture that has been passed through many decades, and dates as far back as 3,000BC.... and even still exists today. It is believed that when someone is envious of you, they can curse you with an 'evil glare' and send bad luck your way. So, protection from the evil eye is something that a lot of people looked for. That's why people often wore evil eye jewellery as a symbol of protection.

This Victorian ring is modelled as Evil Eye. It's set with a gorgeous cluster turquoise cabochons and a rose cut diamond centre. Crafted in 18k gold throughout, with open worked turquoise shoulders.
