Turkish Evil Eye (Gold, 1.5")

The Turkish Evil Eye (Gold, 1.5") is a gold-tone nazar hanging, in the classic blue-and-gold glass eye, sized to hang by a door, window, or wall. The warm gold tone gives it a slightly different look from the silver versions while carrying the same traditional meaning, and its compact 1.5-inch size makes it easy to place in a small entryway or on a crowded shelf.

Quick facts

About the symbol

The nazar is one of the most recognized protective symbols across Turkey and the wider Mediterranean, traditionally hung at home to guard against unwanted energy and envious glances. This gold-tone version keeps the same meaning in a warmer finish for display.

How to display it

Hang it near a front door, on a wall, above a mirror, or wherever you'd like a bright, protective accent. Explore more in our home decor and protection and grounding collections.

Care

Each glass charm is handmade, so slight variations in color and swirl are part of its character. Keep it dry and dust gently with a soft cloth to preserve the gold-tone finish, and avoid hanging it somewhere it could be knocked or brushed against often.
