Bracelet inspiered by the red string worn associated with Judaism's Kabbalah, to ward off misfortune brought about by an "evil eye" (עין הרע in Hebrew). In Yiddish the red string is called a roite bindele.
The red string itself is usually made from thin red wool thread. It is worn, or tied, as a type of bracelet or "band" on the left wrist of the wearer (the receiving side). My version is made with red pearls for a prayer bead look.

The red string became popular with many celebrities in the late 1990´s, including many non-Jews. Led by Madonna and her children, those that have taken to wearing them have included: Zac Efron♥, Michael Jackson, Rosie O'Donnell, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Sienna Miller, Paulina Rubio, Rhiannon Greaves, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, Charlize Theron, Mariah Carey, Lucy Liu, Kylie Minogue, Mick Jagger, David Paterson, Naomi Campbell, Britney Spears, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, David and Victoria Beckham, Avril Lavigne, Sandra Bernhard, Reese Witherspoon, Vanessa Hudgens, Lauren Conrad, Anthony Kiedis, Alex Moore, English Socialite Ollie Lloyd and celebrity journalist Jeffrey Rodack, and Jennifer Bahng.

"And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his

hand: and his name was called Zarah."
