What does it mean when an evil eye bracelet breaks?

   If your evil eye bracelet breaks, you may be the target of negative energy. Evil eye bracelets are a form of protection, as many believe this ancient, spiritual symbol guards you from jealousy and envy. Many believe that an evil eye bracelet breaking is a sign that someone has sent negative energy your way. While this ultimately indicates that your evil eye bracelet has done its job, it’s also a sign that someone is out to get you, and bad luck is just around the corner.

   • If the evil eye breaks on your left hand, it may be a sign that built-up negative energy has been released.
   • If the evil eye breaks on your right hand, you might be sucking in negative energy from your surroundings.
   • Have an evil eye necklace or ring that’s broken? The same interpretation can be applied—the evil eye has done its job protecting you, but now it’s time to watch your back.
   • Alternatively, there may be no spiritual meaning to an evil eye bracelet breaking—it might just be a simple malfunction with the charm or bracelet itself.

   Take when your bracelet broke into account to fully interpret the meaning. The meaning or interpretation of your evil eye bracelet breaking may be swayed by how it breaks. For instance, say you’re chatting with an ex when it breaks. They may have been projecting something negative on you, so think twice before texting them again.

What happens after an evil eye bracelet breaks?

1.

   If the evil eye charm was new, expect minor changes. The newer the bracelet, the less bad vibes you’ll receive. For instance, if you recently purchased the bracelet and it breaks, you may experience minor misfortune like spilling something on your top or missing a bus.

   If the evil eye charm was old, frequent bad luck. The older the bracelet, the more pronounced your bad luck will be. For example, if you had the evil eye bracelet for years and years, you may experience months of misfortune or bad luck after it breaks.

What should you do when an evil eye bracelet breaks?

1. 
   When your evil eye bracelet breaks, replace it rather than repair it. Not wearing an evil eye could put your spirit at risk. If you believe in the evil eye’s protective power, get a new bracelet to continue warding off evil spirits. Avoid repairing the broken bracelet at all costs, as the evil eye has most likely lost its spiritual properties and won’t have the same energetic effects.

   • Discard your broken evil eye bracelet to rid yourself of negativity. Throw the bracelet away or bury it in the earth, but remember to say a quick thank-you prayer before throwing it out to show gratitude to the spirits.
   • Opt for the classic blue and white evil eye, or try other variations that offer other spiritual benefits (on top of protection from jealousy and envy):
     • Orange evil eye: Motivation and creativity
     • Dark blue evil eye: Communication and relaxation
     • Light blue evil eye: Peace and solitude
     • Dark green evil eye: Happiness and balance
     • Light green evil eye: Good health and contentment
     • Red evil eye: Energy and courage
     • Purple evil eye: Imagination and strength
     • Yellow evil eye: Immunity and concentration
     • Pink evil eye: Calmness and friendship
   • Don’t feel obligated to get a new evil eye bracelet. If you don’t feel a difference wearing it, no biggie—do you!

Section 4 of 4:

Should you wear a broken evil eye bracelet?

1. 
   No, you shouldn’t wear a broken evil eye. Wearing a broken evil eye is considered bad luck. When the ancient charm is broken, it loses its protective spiritual properties. While it’s spiritually useless to wear, the broken evil eye can also attract and harbor negative energy.
