About this Turkish evil eye wall hanging
This Turkish evil eye wall hanging centers on a large, glossy glass nazar boncuğu — 12 cm across and deep cobalt blue, with the familiar layered eye in white, turquoise, and black at its heart. Climbing the natural macrame cord above it are six smaller nazar beads, each showing the same watchful motif, their deep blue glass catching the light as the piece moves. The braided jute cord is knotted with care into a loop at the top, ready to go straight onto a hook, nail, or door handle. Together the composition feels both substantial and airy — a single statement object rather than a cluttered collection.
The nazar boncuğu has been a fixture of Turkish homes, shops, and doorways for generations. Passed as a housewarming gift, hung above a baby’s crib, or placed at the entrance to welcome guests, it carries the quiet intention of warding off the evil eye — the envious glance believed in folk tradition to bring misfortune. Here that tradition arrives in a form that looks equally at home in a modern apartment or a more traditionally decorated space.
How to display it
Hang it near your front door to greet visitors, in a sunny window where the deep blue glass can catch the light, or above a mantlepiece as an eye-catching focal point. The loop at the top of the macrame cord supports the full 300 g weight comfortably on a standard picture hook or adhesive strip. It also travels well as a gift — sturdy enough to ship and personal enough to remember. At 12 cm across, the main disc has genuine presence on the wall without overpowering a smaller space.
