About the symbol
In Turkish tradition, the nazar is one of the most recognized protective symbols in the world — hung by doorways and windows, tucked into bags, or kept in the car and home, traditionally believed to guard against unwanted energy and envious glances. Many people give a charm like this as a housewarming or new-baby gift.
How to hang or carry it
At about 1.5 inches, this charm is a versatile size for a wall hook, keyring, rearview mirror, or altar. It pairs naturally with pieces in our protection and grounding collection.
Care
Each glass charm is handmade, so slight variations in color, swirl, and finish are part of its character. Handle it gently since glass can chip, and keep it dry so the silver-tone backing keeps its shine.
