The greek amulet

A small gift with a big story

In Greece, you’ll see it everywhere: the blue eye, known as mati. This ancient amulet has been used for thousands of years to ward off evil and protect people from negative energy, such as jealousy or what we call the “evil eye.”

According to tradition, a jealous or envious glance – whether intentional or not – can bring bad luck. The blue eye acts like a shield: it reflects this energy and protects the person who carries it. The color blue symbolizes purity, truth, and protection, and has been considered powerful and healing since ancient Greek times.

Even today, people wear the blue eye as jewelry, hang it in their homes or cars, or give it as a gift to someone they wish safety and good fortune.
