I created a link to the discussion online of the evil eye tradition, but I didn't read it . . . really.
Really.
That said . . .
Attempts to ward off the curse of the evil eye has resulted in a number of talismans in many cultures. As a class, they are called "apotropaic" (Greek for "prophylactic" or "protective," literally: "turns away") talismans, meaning that they turn away or turn back harm.
Hey, can't hurt.
Can it?
