Protection, Intention, and Everyday Ritual
The Meaning of the Evil Eye in Jewellery
Some jewellery is chosen for its beauty. Some for its symbolism. And sometimes a piece becomes both. Among the most enduring symbols in jewellery is the Evil Eye. A motif rich in meaning, protection, and personal power. Worn for centuries across cultures, it’s a talisman believed to shield its wearer from negative energy and bring clarity, confidence, and calm.
At YCL, the Evil Eye has become one of our most-loved pieces. A quiet emblem of intuition, intention, and inner strength. Now, we're deepening that story with the launch of our new Evil Eye Collection, a modern expression of this ancient symbol, reimagined in elevated materials and minimalist form.
What Is the Evil Eye?
The Evil Eye dates back thousands of years and appears in cultures across the Mediterranean, Middle East, South Asia, and beyond. It’s believed that when someone casts an envious or negative gaze, it can disturb your personal energy. Wearing an Evil Eye is thought to deflect that energy, serving as a form of spiritual armour.
While interpretations vary, its core meaning remains consistent: protection, intuition, and the power of energetic boundaries.
The Evil Eye at YCL
Our interpretation of the Evil Eye honours its rich history, embodying personal storytelling and the meaningful intention behind every YCL piece.
Each piece in the new Evil Eye Collection is crafted to become part of your daily ritual. A modern heirloom that doesn’t just protect, but empowers. Designed in 14k gold vermeil and solid gold, the collection is grounded in timeless silhouettes and elevated details that layer effortlessly.
Whether worn solo or styled with your existing pieces, each Evil Eye is a symbol of quiet strength -made to remind you of your own inner light, no matter what energy surrounds you.

Why the Evil Eye Makes a Meaningful Gift
Gifting jewellery is never just about the piece, it’s about the message it carries.
The Evil Eye is a powerful gift for someone navigating a new chapter, overcoming challenges, or simply stepping into their power. It says: I see you. I honour your strength. I want you to feel protected, supported, and seen.
Whether for a birthday, milestone, or just because, the Evil Eye is a beautiful way to offer intention and love, in a form they can wear every day.

A Note from the Founder
"I’ve worn Evil Eyes for as long as I can remember, my very first piece was a gift from my Mum. That simple yet powerful symbol sparked my journey into jewellery design. For me, jewellery has always been about intentionality: wearing something that guides you, protects you, and reminds you of your inner strength. Whether it’s a daily nudge to speak kindly to yourself, a token of your resilience, or a symbol of self-protection, each piece is designed to empower and connect you to your own energy." YCL Founder, Fabienne Costa
