Amulet from the Mediterranean and the Middle East
The evil eye amulet, or “nazar”, represents a round
sphere. It is usually dark blue with the silhouette of an eye in the middle. Today
it is made of glass or plastic and can be found in various souvenir shops. However,
if you go around the Middle East, you can see the nazar in women's jewelry as hamsa
bracelet or necklace, hand of Fatima pendant. Such things as door-knockers and plentiful
embroidery may display the devil’s eye as well.

What is the nazar?
While the Nazar Boncuğu is a Turkish name, it is not only
a Turkish tradition of owing such amulets. That’s a cultural object widely spread
in Israel, Egypt, Bulgaria, Greece, India and some other countries. Nowadays the
nazar is very popular. Nazars are able to ward off the evil eye as the devil is
captured inside it, thus, repelling negative energy. Nazar beads protect
pregnant women, babies and other easy targets of people being capable to bring
bad luck both consciously and subconsciously.

Evil Eye
The history of the Evil Eye dates back to the AncientGreece and even earlier times. May be there is some good point to buy an amulet
to be on the safe side.
Believers and non-believers in powers of amulets can
buy a lovely nazar to add to their homes, offices, cars and appearances. All in
all, the Nazar Boncuğu is a special gift.
