HISTORY OF PROTECTION EVIL EYE JEWELRY
Evil Eyes have occurred throughout history. Evil eyes were present as early as the Paleolithic era. We find this figure in Muslin, Jewish, and Christian cultures as well as Buddhist and Hindu society.

THE HISTORY OF THE PROTECTIVE EVIL EYE
The evil eye is one of the strongest symbolic images in the world. Only the Christian Cross is more popular around the world. However, despite the evil eye differences in various cultures, the evil eye keeps roughly the same meaning no matter where the stories are shared.
Evil eyes are thought to be expressions of harm, pain, or some form of misfortune to those who are starred upon and given the evil eye. This is a seemingly clear indication that people are interested in doing something bad for an object that is focused, whether it is out of embarrassment or purely malicious. The superstition of the evil eye believes that a malicious appearance is strong enough to bring about an actual disaster for the glare-hungry misfortunate one.
A look at history suggests that the belief in the evil eye dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. It is believed that the evil eye is the greatest threat to any person who is overly praised or receives more recognition or good fortune than they deserve. 
The person to be praised is proud to be so proud that he or she will bring bad luck through an evil eye that is thought to cause mental and physical illnesses. Any disease that does not have an immediate apparent cause is considered to be caused by the evil eye. It is believed that the gods and goddesses are punishing those who are proud of their achievements and destroy them with an evil eye, restoring them to the level of common people.
It important in most religions to give credit where credit is due. “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” Philippians 4:13.
As people progress and move forward in life the more jealous those around them become. The evil eye is expected to come more and more the way of a successful person.
There is a belief in the evil eye on every continent. The Middle East, Asia, Europe and Central America all fear this evil eye. In Book 26 of the Shahi Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad warned of the danger of the evil eye and said that in order to offset the influence of evil forces, a bath must be taken.
Just like classical Greece and ancient Rome, Islamic culture believes that excessive praise will bring about the evil influence of evil eyes. Therefore, rather than praising a lovely child, it should be said that "God has been willing to" the child's good fortune, or risk danger to young people. Ashkenazi Jews also believe that excessive praise will lead to weakness in the eyes of evil, and will repeat the phrase “Keyn aynhoreh!” in Yiddish meaning “no evil eyes” to prevent it.
