Eye Candy The number of #evileye Instagram posts at this writing tells the tale: 1,806,948. The fashion world is obsessed with the evil eye, an ancient symbol of protection against negative energy. The New York Times touted that “the amulets now go way beyond something for Coachella.” Gigi Hadid designed a shoe line festooned with them. Meghan Markle, whose evil-eye pendant sold out the minute she wore it, is seen as the catalyst for the trend, though that word seems silly for a talisman referenced by Plato. This 14K Turquoise Evil Eye Heart Necklace, embellished with diamonds and blue zircon, bestows striking elegance. And—just maybe— it’s got your back. $2,175, Reis-Nichols Jewelers, 3535 E. 86th St., reisnichols.com — C H R I S T I NA V E R C E L L E T T O
