Queen Sofia of Spain attended the Mapfre Foundation 2023 Social Awards on Tuesday, October 10 in a refined style.
Although her impeccable white blazer with die-cut sleeves with front pockets and black tailored pants demonstrated her classic aesthetic, it was the queen’s eye-catching necklace that grabbed all eyes.
What is the meaning of Queen Sofia’s Turkish eye necklace?
The 84-year-old queen chose an oversized Turkish eye necklace in a rainbow of colors.
This meaningful accessory has its roots in Greece, Sofia’s native country.
This classic amulet with concentric circles around a bluish-green dot is believed to have protective powers against the evil eye.
By wearing this symbolic amulet, Queen Sofia subtly demonstrated her faith in the talisman’s ability to ward off bad energies and attract good fortune.
She also paired the piece with a matching multicolored Turkish eye bracelet.
The queen’s bold choice of jewelry added a touch of vibrancy to her elegant monochromatic attire.
Over the years, she has often incorporated similar accessories with evil eye motifs into her ensembles, in a nod to her cultural heritage.
