What is an evil eye link connector?

• An evil eye connector is a small jewelry finding that features a decorative evil eye symbol — usually a round or oval enamel or glass cabochon designed to look like an eye.

• The evil eye is a talisman believed to protect the wearer from bad luck or negative energy caused by envy or ill intent.

• It’s very popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian jewelry.

Key features:

1️⃣ Size — 6 mm:

• A 6 mm evil eye is quite dainty.

• Small enough to use multiple connectors in a piece without it looking bulky.

• Good for delicate bracelets, anklets, or dainty necklaces.

2️⃣ Stainless Steel Setting:

• The evil eye is usually made from glass or enamel and is set inside a stainless steel bezel.

• Stainless steel is durable, rust-proof, hypoallergenic, and resists tarnish.

• It keeps its shine and color for a long time — great for everyday jewelry.

3️⃣ Two Loops (Wire Circles):

• One loop on each side makes it easy to link the connector into your design.

• This turns the evil eye into a central piece in a bracelet or necklace.

• Loops are usually soldered closed or very sturdy to handle pulling.

How they’re used:

• Bracelets: Add chain on either side for a minimalist bracelet.

• Anklets: Popular in beach or summer jewelry.

• Necklaces: Use as a center link or repeat several evil eyes for a chain of protective charms.

• Earrings: Combine with a small chain for a drop earring.

✨ Design vibe:

• Evil eyes look stylish and meaningful at the same time.

• Common colors: classic blue & white, but also black, turquoise, or multicolor.

• Pairs well with other symbols (like hamsa hand charms or stars).

✅ Why stainless steel is great for this:

• Strong enough for daily wear — bracelets take a lot of tugging!

• Hypoallergenic — many people can’t wear plated base metals.

• Won’t tarnish like brass or copper.

Tips for using them:

• Use jump rings to attach them securely.

• For a bracelet, balance it with small beads or chain links.

• Combine multiple evil eye links for layered or multi-strand designs.
