The answer

There is no sin in purchasing an amulet out of ignorance of its true nature, as Allah Almighty says: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [there is blame for] what your hearts intended." However, gifting it is not permissible if it is used as an amulet, to avoid spreading this evil, for the world has become a single village, and a severe warning has come regarding the revival of the traditions of Jaahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era of ignorance).
