The round moonstone cabochon sits in a smooth bezel at the centre of an open, eye-shaped frame of doubled gold wire sweeping out toward the band, so she really does watch over you like a tiny guardian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe evil eye is one of the oldest protective symbols we know - for thousands of years, across the Mediterranean and far beyond, an eye worn on the body was believed to catch envious glances and turn bad luck away before it could ever reach you. A gaze for a gaze. I love that a Scandinavian goldsmith took that ancient idea and gave it this cool, sculptural mid-century shape - protection, but make it modernist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the stone could not be more perfect for it: moonstone has that soft, milky glow that seems to drift under the surface when you move your hand - almost as if the eye is alive.
