About the symbol
In Latin American folk tradition, azabache (jet) paired with a red seed is a classic protective charm often given to children, while the blue nazar, or "evil eye," is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern symbol carried for generations to turn away ill will. This piece brings the two traditions together. It is traditionally worn or hung for protection and good fortune, and is a decorative and symbolic item, not a safety or health device.
