About the symbol
The nazar, or Turkish evil eye, is one of the most recognizable folk symbols in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern tradition, traditionally hung near doors and windows as a household good-fortune charm. Its layered blue, white, and dark-blue rings are meant to resemble an eye, a design that has stayed largely unchanged for generations. Explore more in our home and good luck collections.
How to display it
Hang it near an entryway, doorway, or window — the traditional placement — using the built-in hanging loop. At 8 inches, it makes a noticeable statement piece for a front door, patio, or living space. It is a decorative, symbolic piece rather than a functional security item.
Care & cleansing
Because it's made of glass, handle it gently and hang it somewhere it won't be bumped or knocked, especially in high-traffic doorways. Dust occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the glass surface, and check the hanging cord periodically if displayed outdoors.
