Saint Lucia Eye Pendant in 925 Sterling Silver - 14 mm

Jewelry with the Saint Lucia eye and legend.

This is the operculum of a shellfish called Turbo or "Biou" found in the Mediterranean basin and particularly on Corsican beaches.

The operculum features one side with a spiral design and an orange or greenish pearlescent side, depending on the specimen.This operculum is known as the Saint Lucia Eye.

The powers of Saint Lucy are invoked to heal eye diseases.

By analogy, the Saint Lucia eye wards off the evil eye, brings luck and happiness, and even promotes prosperity when kept with money.
