The evil eye is a power much feared by humans the world over. Humans have for long believed that a supernatural power wielded by someone who doesn’t wish them well, has the potential to cause harm to them or their loved ones.
And strangely enough, the antidote to the evil eye, is also the evil eye. Having the evil eye somewhere upon your person, or anywhere near you, is believed to ward off the evil eye of the person wishing you ill..
As early as 500 BC, the Greeks were known to paint their wine cups with the evil eye to ward off the malevolent evil eye. The Ancient Egyptians had a symbol called the Eye of Horus that was believed to bring health and prosperity to its wearer. The symbol, resembling a damaged eye, originated from the ancient Egyptian mythology surrounding the perennially quarreling gods Horus and Set, in which Set tore out Horus’ eye.

Belief in the power of the evil eye has especially been deeply rooted in the cultures of the Mediterranean, West Asia, Central Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent.
And perhaps the most commonly deployed weapon throughout history, and across cultures, to ward off the evil eye is evil eye jewelry in all its forms — evil eye bracelets, evil rings, evil eye necklaces. You name it, and people have worn it.
Five Most Beautiful Evil Eye Bracelets
Evil eye bracelets can be worn by anyone — man, woman, child. These bracelets, also known as “nazar boncugu” in Turkish, typically feature a blue eye-shaped charm or bead, often made of glass or metal. The blue color is said to represent the protection against the evil eye, while the eye shape is thought to mimic the gaze of the person giving the evil eye, thereby deflecting it back to them.
Of course, you don’t actually have to believe in the evil eye to sport an evil eye bracelet. These bracelets are just graceful as a fashion accessory by themselves. Don’t believe us? Check out our selection of the five most beautiful evil eye bracelets you’ll find on the internet, and judge for yourself.
