The deep blue background on this charm isn't paint; it's a solid piece of lapis lazuli. If you look closely, you can see the natural flecks and colour variations in the stone, which means no two are ever completely identical.
A finely beaded, 14k gold-plated border frames the circular charm. Inside, the lapis lazuli base holds a central eye made of shell pearl, which has a light blue iris. White enamel lines radiate outwards from the centre, forming concentric circles and a sunburst pattern. The whole piece has a slight dome to it, so it catches light from different angles.
The charm starts as solid 925 sterling silver, which we then plate with a durable layer of 14K gold. On top of the gold, we add an invisible e-coating; it’s a clear, protective layer that helps guard against scratches and tarnish. The white pattern is hand-applied enamel, set into the lapis stone. The central eye is a custom-cut piece of shell pearl, which means it has a soft, natural iridescence that plastic can't replicate.

Most evil eye charms are just simple enamel on metal. This one stands out because of the mix of materials. It combines the deep, mottled blue of real lapis lazuli with the clean, graphic lines of enamel and the soft sheen of a shell pearl. It has a texture and depth that simpler versions lack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14k gold plating on my Evil Eye charm wear off?
Yes, all plating will eventually wear, but we take steps to make it last. The charm has a clear e-coating over the 14k gold plating to protect it from daily wear, scratches, and tarnish. How long it lasts depends entirely on how you wear and care for it.
Can I wear my lapis lazuli Evil Eye charm in the shower?
It's best if you don't. Lapis lazuli is a porous stone, and repeated, prolonged exposure to water, soaps, and lotions can dull its surface and weaken the settings over time. We recommend taking it off before showering or swimming to keep the stone looking its best.
How big is the Evil Eye charm and what kind of chain does it fit on?
The charm itself is 16mm across, about the size of a dime. The bail (the little loop at the top) is designed to fit most standard fine-to-medium chains, typically anything up to about 2mm thick. It's light enough that it won't weigh down a delicate chain.
What happens if I don't like the Evil Eye charm once I receive it?
You can return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or an exchange, no questions asked, as long as it's in its original condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide you with a prepaid shipping label and instructions.
How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like the Evil Eye charm?
Free shipping to the US is available on all orders over $60 CAD. Once shipped, it typically takes between 5 to 15 business days to arrive, though this can vary depending on your exact location and any potential delays at customs. We'll send you a tracking number so you can watch its progress.
