Each of these evil eye stud earrings has two parts: a domed 7mm acrylic eye and the 9mm sterling silver bezel that holds it. The eye runs white at the edge, deep blue through the iris and black at the pupil. Raised silver dots circle the side of the bezel, each one sitting in a darkened socket. On the back, a flat plate carries a 925 stamp beside the maker's mark. They come as a pair, handcrafted, so tiny differences from one pair to the next are normal.
Who Reaches for This Pair
If you want the eye and nothing else — no fangs, claws or chain. The eye fills 7mm of the 9mm face, so from the front you mostly see white and blue inside a slim polished rim. Nothing hangs below the lobe, and the flat back plate keeps the face close to your ear.
If you're putting together an asymmetric ear — pair one of these with the Evil Eye Chain Stud Earring across a double piercing on the other ear. That chain stud ends in a 5mm blue acrylic eyeball. Both ears then share the same blue-and-white eye at two sizes, related but not mirrored.
If the nazar belongs to your family or your faith — this puts the blue-and-white eye on you all day, small enough for work and plain enough for family occasions. The metal is sterling silver, and the 925 stamp on each back plate lets you check that for yourself.
Up Close: Glossy Eye, Dotted Silver Rim
The acrylic dome has real depth to it. Up close, the iris is flecked with lighter blue and darkens toward the black pupil. In most light, a small highlight sits on the curve of the dome. That highlight is what makes it read as an eye, not a painted dot.
From the side, the silver takes over. The raised dots on the bezel wall catch light while the sockets around them stay dark. So a profile view shows a bright-and-black band under the eye. Face-on, you mostly see the polished rim instead.
Because the eye is acrylic, these behave more like a tiny nazar bead than a piece of carved silver. Acrylic resists shattering better than glass, but it picks up fine scratches more easily. Some silver polishing cloths carry a fine abrasive, so work around the dome and give the eye a soft, damp wipe instead.
Specs, and What They Mean for You
Questions Buyers Ask First
Q: Is the eye carved from silver, or is it a separate piece?
It's a separate piece. The 7mm eye is domed acrylic in white, deep blue and black, fitted into a sterling silver bezel. The silver makes up the setting, the dotted rim and the stamped back plate. Because the eye isn't metal, it won't tarnish along with the silver around it.
Q: Do I get two earrings or one?
You get two. This listing is a pair of 9mm studs, each with its own push-on back. The flat back plates carry the 925 stamp and the maker's mark. Every pair is handcrafted, so tiny variations between pairs are normal, but both studs share the same white, blue and black eye design.
Q: How do I clean them without scratching the acrylic eye?
Clean the two materials separately. A silver polishing cloth suits the bezel and back plate, but keep it off the dome, since acrylic scratches more easily than glass. Wipe the eye with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Putting the studs in after lotion, perfume or hairspray also helps the silver stay bright longer.
Q: Where does the blue evil eye design come from?
It follows the nazar, an eye-shaped amulet believed to protect against the evil eye. The word comes from Arabic, where it means "sight," and in Turkey the bead is called nazar boncuğu. It is traditionally handmade glass, usually blue, with an eye motif. This pair carries a blue-and-white eye in a 7mm acrylic dome.
