Many cultures around the world believe that a thought or an envious glare is able to cause harm to someone in the form of illness, injury, or even death.

A nazar is an eye-shaped amulet believed to protect against the evil eye.

The stone is an amalgamation of molten glass, iron, copper, water and salt. This particular combination of minerals and metals is believed to provide a shield from the forces of evil.

It is believed that the nazar deflects the negative energy that is being directed towards a person onto itself, thus dispersing its powers.

The eye pendant is attached to anything and everything that, it is felt, will attract envy and greed. It can be find attached the eye pendant in front of a house or office, hanging it from the neck of a newborn child, or a farm animal and even on a newly acquired machinery. It can be also find the pendant being inserted into the foundations of modern offices and even come across some web pages.

The evil eye pendant is still hand crafted using primitive means, by highly skilled glass workers who are carrying on a 3000 year old craft.
