While this amulet whose name in Turkish in Nazar boncuk, can be seen in multiple color combinations, the truth is that blue is the most popular . There are two versions to explain the use of this color: one of them says that this talisman was already used by the Greeks in their trips on the high seas, so the combination of blue and white apparently represents the union of the deities to those who requested protection .
Another version suggests that the blue color is due to the eyes of the Nordics who invaded the Asian part of what is now known as Turkey. The invaded saw in the Nordics enemies who could transmit evil eye and bring misfortunes, so they began to develop and use Turkish eyes blue, representing the eyes of those.

Learning to use the Turkish eye is very simple: just hang it around the neck, wrist, ankle or hang it inside the house or the place we want to protect (even, there are slopes with this shape).
If you want to use it as protection, you should know that the function of the Turkish eye is to "distract" the look of the person who wishes to harm, so that his negative energy is eliminated and he can not fulfill his objective. In the case of newborns, a small Turkish eye is usually tied to your wrist, although it may also be attached to your clothes.
Although the traditional colors are light blue, dark blue and white, there are other versions that have other meanings:
- If it is red, it is protection for love.
- If it is yellow, it protects against diseases.
- If it is white, it is used to balance energies in spaces such as houses, offices or shops.

For those who believe in the evil eye, using the Turkish eye is a very powerful ritual that "deactivates" the destructive intentions of the other, and that can generate illness, poverty, bad luck or misfortune. However, everything is about the beliefs and intention of whoever uses it. If you do not believe in the power of the evil eye or in the protection that the Turkish eye can give you according to popular belief, nothing happens, since it is also commonly used as an accessory.

If your Turkish eye comes to fall, break or start to crack, the belief says that it is because the amulet has fulfilled its mission of protection by retaining the negative energy of another person, and therefore it is time to replace it with a new one. If the nazar is stolen, whoever takes it takes away the negative energy that the amulet has collected.
Although you have to wear it, there are people who prefer to have a Turkish eye trinket, keep it in their purse and take it out when they feel they need to repel negative energies.
