In many parts of the world, Evil Eyes are believed to carry magical powers to protect you or bring you luck. Turkish people believe that it absorbs bad energy coming from evil eyes, hence no place of business or home is without one.

Evil Eyes come in many styles, from simple to ornate, and they are made of glass. When a child is born, an evil eye is pinned to the garment on his or her right back shoulder for protection from other people's evil / jeaolous eyes.

Evil eye jewelry like necklaces, pendants, bracelets, wall decoration items, rings, earrings are also handcrafted and are believed to be protective against envious people. Evil eye beads, linked together with sterling silver, are famous in many cultures throughout the world.
