Turkey

Turkey is well known for its emphasis on family and protection from the evil eye.  The evil eye dates back thousands of years as one of the strongest symbolic images in the world. Wearing the evil eye as an amulet is seen to protect and ward off negativity. Traditionally known as “Nazar” in Turkish, the evil eye is a talisman that is often blue in color and stares back at the world to ward off evil and keep you safe from harm. Turkish kids display evil eyes in the form of protection bands because it symbolizes the wish to be protected.
