I really need to know what this is called...PLEASE READ!!!!?

Question

Ok, so about 6 months ago, I bought this very unique keychain by the beach in California, it had many hookd beads, TONS! and on each bead, it had an eye painted on...the lady told me it was religious, I THINK a Jewish belief, that that keychain protected you from any evil eye that was trying to do you harm, they had bracelets too, but opted for the keychain. It was BEAUTIFUL! but I dropped my keys so many times that it finally broke, and now I can't go back to where I bought it and need to know if there is a place online I can go to or a certain gift shop. I kid you not, I refuse to buy ANY OTHER keychain as I truly want one of these unique keychains.

1 st answered...I think you are right, it is Arab...ok, now that I recall, DEFINATELY not jewish...I would love to know the NAME of it...

Answer 1

It isnt a jewish belief. This is Arab cultural belief, not islamic. Another thing stolen from the arabs. Next, theyll be saying hummos is theirs.

I am not sure what the name is, I always hear it referred to as "the eye". If I find out what the name is I will post it here before the Q is resolved

Answer 2

Many cultures believe in the "Evil Eye", but it's predominantly believed in the Mediterranean. The charm is called a "mataki" in Greek.

Answer 3

I think it's Greek Orthodox. I was at the Greek Festival in Houston last month, and in their bazaar area, I saw multi-eyed jewelry like that. But I don't know what it's called, I'm afraid.

Answer 4

Would it be these?
