The Evil Eye (or Nazar) is one of the world’s oldest and most recognizable symbols. It isn’t just a design; it’s a powerful cultural “talisman” used across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and beyond to ward off misfortune and negative stares.
The Symbolism
The core concept is simple: the “eye” reflects malevolent glares back at the onlooker, acting as a spiritual shield.
-
The Pupil: The dark center that “watches” the world.
-
The Iris: Traditionally Blue, representing the sky and divinity, though other colors carry different meanings.
-
The Material: Often made of Glass (Murano or Turkish lampwork) or Enamel.
