When it comes to fashion jewelry items there are a few pieces created simply as fun or trendy styles for young people to wear. This is usually true for items created with specific designs such as the styles of Gothic jewelry available. There are also a number of interesting items that use various symbols dating back to ancient belief systems, which include the ancient Egyptian symbols. Another symbol used in creating costume jewelry is the evil eye. There are actually a number of different evil eye jewelry pieces designed as bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

    In the category of necklaces created with this unusual looking symbol, the eye is usually found on a pendant, which is attached to either a chain link neck piece or a leather cord. The cords are very popular for use with this jewelry symbol and are also found widely used in creating various bracelet designs. The bracelets, like the necklaces may have a charm or pendant dangling from the cord or chain. These pendants are available in a few different shapes including a classic round style and a heart shape. In each of these shapes the eye will be placed in the center to create a dramatic effect.

    The basic design of the eye image will have a center pupil of black placed inside a surrounding area of blue that makes up the iris. The blue will vary in shade from light to dark depending on the particular piece. The iris section can have the shape of a classic oblong or slanted style or the shape of the setting it is placed in. The eye design is usually made of glass or enamel, which is then set into the metal base. Most styles of pendants are made using sterling silver, but you may find a few exceptions that use gold or platinum instead.

    The earrings made with this particular symbol are usually created as pierced styles with wire backs. They will often have the same types of hanging eyes as the necklaces and bracelets with charms. Some pieces may include decorative trim, which can be etched or engraved sections of the silver or small gemstones such as CZ stones. There are also a number of decorative charms that have this image set into another design such as the pieces using ladybugs, where the ladybug’s internal body is the blue eye. It can also be found incorporated into Star of David designs, four leaf clovers and several animal shapes.
