The Story of the Evil Eye Bead and Our Evil Eye Necklace: Nile Chain Necklace
The evil eye bead is a handicraft used for protection against the evil eye, featuring a blue eye-shaped figure in the center, crafted from glass shaped with hand tools over a wood fire. The evil eye bead is a symbol known by everyone, from 7 to 70. We use it in our homes, on our persons, and on newly purchased items. It is believed to possess a great protective power.
The evil eye bead has been used in many cultures and religions throughout history and has been accepted as a powerful talisman that wards off evil.
In addition to its cultural and religious significance, it is frequently used in ornaments. It is thought to bring good luck.
Archaeological findings indicate that the belief in the evil eye dates back to the Neolithic age. The belief in the evil eye exists across cultures and has continued through generations. In ancient times, it was believed that the wickedness of evil people was projected outwards, negatively affecting good people and causing negative events to happen to them.
Evil eye beads dating back to 3000 B.C. have been found among the Sumerians, green glass beads from 3500 B.C. have been found in Pharaohs' tombs, and eye-shaped glass beads have been discovered among votive objects during the Ephesus excavations.
Ancient Turkic tribes also admired the color blue due to its resemblance to the color of the Sky God "Tengri," and for this reason, they adopted the use of cobalt and copper. In ancient Turkic societies, the evil eye bead was given names such as munçuk, moncuk, monşak, monçak, monçok, and muyınçak.
It is even stated that the Hun Ruler Attila the Hun named his horse Muncuk Khan for the purpose of protection from the evil eye. Thus, the evil eye bead spread across cultures. It was used by the Phoenicians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans. It was concentrated in the Mediterranean and Levant regions, but with trade and the expansion of empires, it reached different corners of the world.
