About the symbol
The evil eye, or nazar, is a time-honored emblem found across Turkish, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern traditions, worn as a symbolic shield against negativity directed at the wearer. It is one of the most recognizable protective symbols in the world, instantly familiar in its classic blue-and-white glass form. Many people wear one daily as a personal talisman — see our full protection and grounding collection for more.
How to wear it
Wear the pendant on its chain as an everyday layering piece, alone or stacked with other necklaces and pendants. The glass eye sits centered on the chain for a classic, visible look that works with most necklines.
Care
The glass pendant is delicate — avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or knocking it against other jewelry. Remove before swimming, showering, or sleeping, and store it flat or hanging to prevent the chain from tangling. Exact shade and style may vary slightly piece to piece, since each pendant is finished individually.
