Diamond Evil Eye Pendant PCA00401.

Meaning
In its basic form the evil eye is a curse passed from one person to another. This is usually done through staring, but it isn’t just limited to this. It can also be passed on through a false compliment or even through focused negative thoughts. The root source of this curse comes from a person’s jealousy; envy, bitterness or that they harbour some sort of resentment.

Once you have received this negativity many cultures believe the evil eye will cause “bad luck”. It is believed that this bad luck can manifest itself as misfortune or go as far as causing injury. Many of those who believe in the evil eye have an evil eye to protect them from the evil eye. Ironically the term “evil eye” references some form of amulet/talisman that offers them the protection.

The concept of the evil eye varies widely from culture to culture, but it is most prevalent in locations of West Asia and a few Mediterranean countries. In these locations the evil eye amulet/ talisman is called a “Nazar”.

Nazar is an Arabic derived word for sight. Although its basis is Arabic, many other languages have borrowed the term. Examples of its use can be found in Hindi-Urdu; Bengali; Persian; Punjabi; Turkish just to name a few.

Gold Evil-Eye Pendant.

Typically, a Nazar (Evil Eye) is handmade from glass, predominantly in concentric circles, but they are common in other shapes. Colouring is usually Royal/Navy Blue outer section, followed by a ring of white, then a ring of light blue and finishing with a Black dot. Although this is the most common and well-known variant of the evil eye, you will regularly come across cultural variations. And in modern times you will see it represented in different forms of accessories; fashion; homeware and jewellery items.

Historical records show that the evil eye has been around for thousands of years. Early examples of eye shaped amulets were seen from 3300BC. What is interesting, is the original curse touched on earlier has even older roots which are extremely difficult to trace.

18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring RA00669.

The Victorian’s were typically romantic, sentimental and liked to give meaningful gifts such as this 18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring to there loved ones. One of the most sentimental types of jewellery to come out of this era were the acrostic rings.IE dear · precious · adored · loved · beloved · much loved · favourite · cherished · treasured · prized · esteemed · worshipped · idolized ETC. These were rings that used the initials of gemstones to represent letters. Put together, the gemstones would spell a word like regards, dearest or adore. These were basically little love letters full of passion and love.

A dearest ring was the perfect way to tell someone that they were loved. It was given as a token of love and its valuable gemstones and precious metals made a passionate statement. Interestingly, Dearest rings were not typically given as engagement rings.

These stones were often set in a straight line or in a circular flower like pattern, with the diamond in the middle.

The dearest ring is still very popular today and are an excellent way to add some colour to jewellery while sending a meaningful message in the ring design.

In the past, trends in jewellery and accessories were not just influenced by fashion but also by notable aristocrats, including members of the royal family.

Acrostic jewellery such as this 18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring rose in popularity in the 1820s and 1830s. Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 during what is now considered the Romantic Era. The Victorians are well known for their love of romance and symbolism, so it is no surprise that people were drawn to this acrostic jewellery trend.

There are no set rules as to what design the gemstones should be set, as long as the diamond and coloured gemstones are in the correct order to spell out ‘Dearest’. You may choose to have your gemstones set in a circular pattern or in a straight line or perhaps set into a beautiful engraved pattern. So if you are after a ring that has lots of colour, is a little unusual and has a lovely romantic sentiment, then this is possibly the perfect ring for you!
