All traditional bedouin jewelry is used as a talisman and has a protective value against the evil eye. (Almost all personal adornment does double duty as protection.) The color red (and red/orange) is especially protective and is used often in jewelry by incorporating coral, red glass, carnelian stones or other naturally red colored items.
