The Turkish Eye is a Turkish amulet (sometimes called the Greek eye) that protects against the evil eye, envy, and malicious glances.

In Mediterranean countries, it is used as a personal amulet in bracelets, earrings, and necklaces or as a protective amulet hung in homes, offices, or cars.

This Turkish Eye is made of blue glass and weighs approximately 200 grams with a diameter of 10cm and a thickness of 1cm.

Meaning of the Turkish Eye

Its Turkish name for protection against the evil eye and envy is nazar boncuk (Nazar - evil eye, boncuk - amulet). The 10cm Turkish Eye is often referred to as the Eye of Fatima, named after the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, and is combined with the Fatima Hand amulet to enhance its effects. Although it can have various patterns and designs, the Turkish Eye is typically composed of a circle, sphere, or drop shape in dark blue with an overlaid white and light blue eye. The Turkish Eye amulet appeared during the development of glassmaking in the Mediterranean around the 16th century BC. Legend has it that fair-haired blue-eyed men could be malevolent and send negative vibrations through their gaze. When a Turkish Eye breaks or cracks, it has fulfilled its protective function and must be replaced.
