MEANING OF THE TURKISH EYE

Its Turkish name for protection against the evil eye and envy is nazar boncuk (Nazar - evil eye, boncuk - amulet). The Turkish Eye is often referred to as the Eye of Fatima, named after the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, and it combines the Hand of Fatima amulet to enhance its effects.

Although it can take various patterns, colors, and designs, the Turkish Eye originally consists of a circle, sphere, or teardrop shape in dark blue with a white and light blue eye overlay.

The Turkish Eye amulet appeared during the development of glassmaking in the Mediterranean around 16 BC.

Legend has it that fair-haired, blue-eyed men could be malevolent and could send negative vibrations with their gaze.

When the Turkish Eye breaks or cracks, it has fulfilled its protective function and must be replaced.
