Silver Garnet Eye Ring

To be honest, evil eye jewelry isn't all that unusual, but it is rare to find a piece so sleek and elegant as this Silver Garnet Eye Ring. Its smooth lines and minimalist styling breathe new life into an old favorite.

Whether or not you buy into its reputation for protection, this is one ring you'll want to have with you all the time. And let's face it, a little bit of good luck would certainly come in handy!

Breaking with the tradition of using brightly colored glass for the eye, this ring relies on a polished, modern aesthetic in sterling silver, set with a deep red, genuine garnet gem. The results are striking.

The history of this symbol spans centuries, dating as far back as ancient Greek and Roman times. 

The evil eye was believed to be a sharp glance or glare from a malicious person which could bring injury or loss. To protect against such an attack, people wore eye-shaped amulets intended to deflect that harmful energy and turn away bad fortune.

Or… you can wear it just because you appreciate the quirky, offbeat aesthetic. Because that’s pretty cool too.

The Silver Garnet Eye Ring is made from nickel-free .925 sterling silver and set with a genuine garnet cabochon. The ring measures approximately 1/4" across at its widest point and is available in whole sizes 4-11.
