Our story
Vanessa Kandiyoti Jewels came to life in 2007 on a Saturday afternoon in London Notting Hill. Vanessa who always loved jewellery but had trained as a lawyer did a one -week course on how to start a jewellery business and by the end of the week, went into a store she liked and showed her work after seeing other Evil Eyes in their counter. That’s how the story began, they bought her stock, they sold out, she created more Evil Eye Jewels, they sold again, and her Evil Eye jewels started to spread more of their magic into the world. “What a gift to be the bearer of treasures” she now believes in hindsight.
Apart from loving jewellery, Vanessa Kandiyoti is a mother, author and a seeker born in Belgium and raised in a Turkish home filled with Evil Eyes, from her her cradle to the decoration on the walls. Her love for jewellery never stops and there is always a protective talisman around mixing her passion for spirituality, growth and beauty. She also writes a weekly newsletter about mindfulness and everyday life always adding a piece of contemporary art at the bottom.
“These jewels are meant to give you even more light, so that you can attract all that your heart longs for and beyond.”
