Kressida is a female name meaning “valuable like gold” in Greek. Evil eyes were a recurring theme in Greek antiquity. According to Plutarch, they were a source of negative energy that could bring harm to others. The Kressida medallion is meant to serve as a talisman against all bad energy. This beautiful delicate crystal necklace is a lovely way to add a bit of sparkle and colour into your outfits. Please note the crystals are slightly more of a darker turquoise than the image.
