The Nazar Bead

Nazar bead refers to a very traditional item in Turkey, Anywhere you go or any people you talk to can show you a bead in his pocket, or at home, or in his car etc. And if this Nazar bead is broken for whatever reason, it's beleived that it worked and protected you from some evil-eye that probabily you are unaware of at that moment. So this would guard you from any negative energy or from jealous looks of others for example.

The Nazar bead is usually made of blue glass, with white and yellow or white and blue again circles inside, that would be a typical Nazar Bonjuk.
