"According to Jewish folkways, the red string wards off the evil eye. Some trace belief in the evil eye to rabbinic sources and Kabbalistic texts, which recommend various remedies such as wearing amulets.
The practice of wearing the red string is said to have grown from a tradition of winding a red string around the stone marker over the West Bank tomb of Rachel, a Jewish matriarch, while reciting Hebrew prayers. The string was then cut into bracelet-size lengths and worn as a symbolic request for spiritual and physical protection and blessings. " Associated Press/February 25, 2005

if u want to wear one..u certainly must take it from a babbalah center..coz if u put 1 red thing at ure hand it has no meaning. that bracelet is more like a symbol that u connect with kabbalah society.
