Belief in the evil eye is nearly universal. You can find it in cultures around the globe, dating as far back as ancient Greek and Roman times. The evil eye was a sharp glance or glare, from a malicious or jealous person, which could bring injury and loss to the one at which it was directed. The antidote for such a supernatural attack was to wear a piece of jewelry in the shape of a human eye. Such a talisman was said to protect the wearer from harm, and to bring good fortune. How should I care for my garnet jewelry? Garnet is actually fairly trouble-free when used in jewelry. It is a relatively tough stone, and not likely to be damaged by day to day wear. If it gets dirty, simply wash it with warm soapy water. Use a soft cloth to polish the silver, and you're good to go!
