Description |
This genuine ancient Phoenician glass eye amulet has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold pendant.
In the ancient world, this glass eye talisman was worn to protect its owner from misfortune. It was believed, then as now, that the ever-vigilant eye would spot all approaching evil and frighten it away with its piercing glare. Time has graced this amulet with a pearly iridescence, which in no way lessens its benevolent power. The person who wears it today will benefit from the accumulated magic of centuries.
