George Khalife, a celebrity jeweler, has revealed the special significance of the matching evil eye bracelets, which he has recently gifted to Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid.
Khalife gave a special gift to Malik and girlfriend Hadid after the supermodel confirmed that she is pregnant with their first baby together. Khalife had sent the evil eye bracelets to this A-list couple to congratulate them on their good news.
George Khalife, who is often referred to as “George the Jeweler,” shared the special meaning of the unique piece of the gifted jewelry. He revealed that, in a majority of the middle-eastern culture, the evil eye is a charm to prevent being affected by negativity and jealousy.
The jeweler mentioned that he is in love with charms that have special meanings attached to them. “You’ll see a lot of lucky charms in my work,” he added.
He used the classic evil eye and then created it in diamonds to make a “simple and chic” bracelet. The matching bracelets he gifted to this young couple are handmade in diamond and 14-karat yellow gold.
The celebrity jeweler explained why he selected this exquisite design for the would-be parents. He said that he zeroed on this particular bracelet because both Gigi and he “share middle eastern backgrounds.” Another reason he said was that they “believe that they keep away the jealousy.”
George Khalife believes that it is a great time for Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid and “all eyes are on them.” As such, he feels these evil eye bracelets were ideal to remind the young couple “not to let negativity affect them.”
This is not the first time that the jeweler has created a special jewelry piece for the leggy model. Khalife had also created a “Zayn” necklace for Hadid, as well as her “Hadid” necklace in Arabic in the past. The jeweler took to Instagram and uploaded a picture of Malik and Hadid with these matching bracelets, Hollywood Life reports.
Rumors had previously swirled that the duo was expecting a baby girl. Hadid formally acknowledged the news of her pregnancy while making a virtual appearance on Apr 30’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
She said they wished to announce the news on their “own terms.” However, both Malik and Hadid are “very excited and happy and grateful” for people’s support and well wishes.
In other news, the stunning supermodel has been always supportive of her boyfriend’s decision to exit “One Direction.” The fashionista had reportedly said in an interview that she feels that going solo would help Malik into “learning more about himself.”
Gigi Hadid had also indicated that Malik was not happy with his bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, and Liam Payne, Geo News reports. Zayn Malik had quit the enormously famous boy band in 2015.
