Babies with their ✨protective bracelets✨

What I find really sweet is that all three have their own bracelets that are worn to protect against the evil eye. It's called 'ojo' or 'mal del ojo' in Spanish and 'usog' or 'buyag' in the Philippines. They're mostly worn by children but I've seen adults occasionally wear them.

Some info on the bracelets, and a disclaimer: these are only one of the varieties as I'm sure that there are other variations, traditions or beliefs associated with these types of protective amulets. Though I'm focusing on these varieties for now.

For MX's his bracelet has a central charm consisting of Ojo de venado, which translates as "Deer's eye" and refers to the seed of mucuna mutisiana. The bracelet can be made of cord or beads but they say that once the seed cracks then that means it has successfully absorbed a curse meant for the wearer.

For CB's the central charm Azabache (Jet) is used instead for protection. It's a gemstone mineraloid that's created from wood under extreme pressure and is the lowest rank of coal. The bracelet itself can be made of gold, beads or cord!

For PH's I had the help of @sweaty-clouds who was incredibly kind to share with me some of the bracelets, and meaning behind them ;v;. PH's bracelet is made of coral beads (though recently plastic as well) with red being the most popular color. They also usually come with a lubigan/habak pouch filled with paper inscribed with tiny prayers inside that's pinned to the shirt, but sadly that's not visible in this doodle.
