The Nazar boncuğu, also known as the evil eye amulet, is a traditional talisman commonly found in Turkey and other Mediterranean cultures. It is typically made of glass and features a distinctive blue and white eye design. The amulet is believed to protect against negative energy and envy, warding off harm from the "evil eye," a curse thought to be cast by a malicious glare. This amulet is often worn as jewelry, hung in homes, or displayed in businesses. The Nazar boncuğu has become a popular symbol of protection and good luck, transcending its cultural origins to be embraced by people worldwide.
