Description
The nazar has travelled further than almost any other charm — Turkey, Greece, Iran, and for a long time now, India. Hang it where people come and go, and let it do its work.
About the Craft
Assembled by hand in Rajasthan from moulded blue-and-white nazar beads, strung on a cord with a cluster of small bells at the base. The central eye is the largest, with smaller eyes ringing it and the bells hanging below so the piece speaks a little when the door opens.
Where to Hang It
The main door, a window, a balcony, or over a child’s cot. In Vastu the entrance is where protective charms are traditionally placed, since it is the threshold between the street and the home.
Perfect For
- Front doors, balconies and windows
- Housewarming and new-shop-opening gifts
- Cars and workspaces
- Anyone starting something new
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the evil eye for?
It is a protective charm, believed across many cultures to absorb envious or ill-wishing attention before it reaches the household.
Can it hang outdoors?
Under a covered porch or balcony, yes. Direct sun and rain will fade it over time.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry cloth.
