Beautiful 925 silver earrings composed of a 10mm Saint Lucia oel surrounded by diamonds.
This is the cover of a shell that can be collected on certain beaches after a big storm.
The size of the lids can vary from 2 mm to 3 cm.
It was in the 4th century that the legend of Saint Lucy was born: a young girl from the Syracuse nobility who obtained the miraculous healing of her mother suffering from an incurable illness through repeated prayers to the Virgin Mary.
Devoting boundless worship and devotion to the latter, she tore out her eyes and threw them into the sea so as not to be diverted from her faith and keep her suitors away.
Entirely turned to prayer, she performed many miracles.
In response to this devotion, the Blessed Virgin restored his sight and gave him more beautiful and luminous eyes ("Occhji belli e lucentti").
The cover of the shell called the “Turbo Rugueux” which is found on the Mediterranean shores symbolizes the eyes of Saint Lucia. Wearing one is said to ward off the evil eye and promote good luck.
It should be noted that we find variations of this symbolism throughout the Mediterranean basin and beyond (particularly in Indonesia).
In Corsica "the eye of Saint Lucy" is considered a lucky charm.
