A look of envy or admiration can send "mal de ojo [1]," or evil eye, your way. Many cultures around the world believe that mal de ojo can lead to illness and misfortune for the recipient. Since mal de ojo is often sent from one person to another unintentionally, it's important that we protect ourselves daily [2]. In general, it is believed to primarily affect babies and young children, which is why some cultures believe in tying a red string around the baby's wrist to absorb and repel the negative energy. An azabache, a jet-black gemstone, is also believed to protect babies from the evil eye.
Today, mal de ojo jewelry is available to anyone and considered a stylish accessory that doubles as a repellent for negative vibras. Whether it's a mal de ojo bracelet, evil-eye necklace, or any other type of mal de ojo jewelry, it's a discreet way of creating a shield of protection [4] to avoid getting mal de ojo.
