“Mati” is the Greek symbol for the “evil eye”. Despite it’s name, the purpose of this ancient symbol is protection. Energy that will always have your back by looking out to the world for you and blocking any negativity directed your way. Throughout the Mediterranean you will see this cerulean blue symbol speckled across villages and islands, as it’s protection is a true part of ancient culture. The Mati Studs are designed to be a simple yet stunning statement of protection and peace for you to wear. Adorned with a bright Blue Topaz stone at the center. Blue Topaz is said to support clear communication, inner peace, and good fortune- the perfect gemstone to embody Greece’s beloved Mati. These simple studs are our elevated take on a centuries old and treasured talisman.
The Mati Studs are handcast in solid 925 sterling silver with a thick gold vermeil plating of 18k gold. With a Matte finish and specialty anti-tarnish coating, giving the piece a brushed “sea-glass” effect, truly embodying the tides of the Mediterranean. These studs are 8mm.
