About the Craft
The tradition of creating protective jewellery in India spans centuries, with artisans developing specialised skills in combining symbolic elements with wearable beauty. Crafted by skilled jewellery makers in Delhi, this evil eye anklet represents the careful fusion of cultural beliefs with modern design sensibilities. The process begins with selecting high-quality components – smooth black crystal or glass beads that provide grounding energy, polished metal rings that catch light beautifully, and most importantly, the authentic evil eye bead crafted with the traditional blue and white concentric circle pattern. Each evil eye bead is carefully chosen for its vibrant colour and clear design, as the clarity of the eye is believed to be crucial for its protective powers. The artisan then meticulously strings each element in precise order, creating a rhythmic pattern of black beads separated by metal spacers. The evil eye bead is positioned at the perfect central point where it will rest prominently on your ankle, clearly visible to deflect any negative glances. The metal components are carefully selected for their anti-tarnish properties, ensuring the anklet maintains its lustre through regular wear. The adjustable closure system with lobster claw clasp and extension chain is attached with reinforced connections, as anklets undergo more movement and stress than other jewellery pieces. Each component is threaded with care, ensuring the anklet is both flexible enough for comfort and durable enough for daily wear.
Speciality
What makes this evil eye anklet truly special is its seamless blend of protective tradition and wearable elegance. The evil eye symbol, or nazar, has been used across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures for millennia as a powerful talisman against envy and negative energy. The blue colour specifically is believed to have the strongest protective properties, absorbing and neutralising ill will before it can affect the wearer. The black beads complement this protection by providing grounding and shielding energy in many spiritual traditions. Beyond its symbolic significance, this anklet is designed for real life – the adjustable fit means it works perfectly whether you prefer it snug or slightly loose, the lightweight design ensures you'll forget you're wearing it, and the anti-tarnish finish means it continues looking beautiful even with daily exposure to elements. The simple yet striking design makes it incredibly versatile, working as well with jeans and a kurti as it does with traditional salwar suits or even fusion Indo-Western outfits.
How to Care?
To keep your evil eye anklet looking beautiful and functioning optimally as a protective talisman, remove it before bathing, swimming or any water-based activities, as prolonged moisture exposure can affect both the metal and the beads. Avoid wearing it during exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. Keep it away from perfumes, lotions, cosmetics and harsh chemicals, which can dull the finish and damage the evil eye bead. After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust, oils or moisture. Store in a dry place, preferably in a small jewellery pouch or box when not wearing. Though designed with anti-tarnish properties, proper care will extend its life and maintain its protective qualities.
This handcrafted evil eye anklet is where ancient protective wisdom meets contemporary style, offering you a meaningful, beautiful way to guard your steps and shield yourself from negativity with every graceful movement.
