925 Sterling Silver All Seeing Eye of Providence Pendant

The all-seeing eye symbolizes the presence of God watching over the human race. Imagery of an all-seeing eye can be traced back to Egyptian mythology and the Eye of Horus. Buddhist texts like the Mahaparinibbana Sutta also refer to Buddha as the "Eye of the World" (although no imagery is used). It is frequently used to depict the image of God in Caodaism. In Medieval and Renaissance European iconography, the Eye (often with the addition of an enclosing triangle) was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts. Also placed on the Great Seal of the United States, this handmade sterling silver necklace is perfect for a member of the freemason society or anyone proud to be an American.
