Why the Evil Eye Bead?
You may notice a common trait among our bracelets. That's right - it's our signature Turkish Evil Eye, but it’s much more than just a simple design feature.
The Evil Eye bead is a symbol of the foundation on which everything else is built--protecting your energy.
Wearing gemstones around your wrist may be one of the best ways to soak up the potency of crystal healing vibes.
Wearing your bracelet acts as a visual cue, a reminder to be fully present in your intention and to protect your energy.
The Signature Evil Eye Bead
Our Turkish Evil Eye beads are handcrafted in Turkey by glassmakers who dedicate themselves to this art.
The beads are made by layering the different colors of glass, so they are not flat. This is how you can tell the authentic beads from the many copies you can find on the market.
We chose the iconic cobalt blue Evil Eye to symbolize protection. The power of this striking blue radiates positive energy and invites good karma.
Slip on your beaded bracelet and feel the healing vibes.
