The Evil Eye Charm is used in Greek culture for 'protect' its owner from the negative energy associated with the envy of others. This charm is often used on jewelry, bag accessories, or hang on walls to keep the house or person, safe. It is not uncommon to see it even on baby garments or baby cots.

The tradition stems from the Greek superstition that someone who 'looks' at your fortunes with a jealous intent, shall bring upon you bad luck.
