Evil Eye Necklace with Sapphire Tear

A one-of-a-kind pendant necklace that tells a story of emotion, protection, and transformation.
 
The eye, hand inlaid with blue and white chalcedony, gazes softly beneath a textured 18k yellow gold brow, its form inspired by the armor-like ridges of a seahorse, a signature detail in my work. A single blue sapphire tear, repurposed from a vintage piece, completes the design, symbolizing both beauty and release.
 
Elise’s fascination with eyes began in childhood, surrounded by family superstition and symbolism. Growing up in an Italian household, protective charms and amulets were part of daily life, meant to guard against malocchio, the evil eye. That heritage and the surrealist imagery of Dalí inspired this modern interpretation: an eye that both watches over and feels deeply.
 
Whether you’re drawn to its symbolism or its avant-garde design, The Crying Eye Necklace is a reminder to look deeper, and perhaps let it cry for you or with you.
