BLUE GLASS NAZAR

The picture of a vendor selling Nazar was sent to me by Lai Yoong who is currently on a tour of Turkey.  It seems that in Turkey wherever you look, you'll find a lot of these Evil Eye beads being sold.
According to Turkish culture,  giving a gift of a " Blue Glass Nazar Boncugu ( bonjouk ) " or " Evil Eye Bead " is very common. People hang a small evil eye amulet from the rear view mirror of their car, keep several small evil eye beads or charms on hand to give to guests, hang an evil eye near their door in the home or office. Glass evil eyes are worn, in the form of jewelry; evil eye bracelets, evil eye necklaces, evil eye anklets, gold or silver evil eye charms and pendants, blue evil eye talismans, evil eye earrings - rings and plenty of evil eye ethnic jewelry sets.
