Nazar is the Indian word for the evil eye - the harm a covetous look is said to do - and the blue glass eye hung by the door to absorb it is one of the oldest charms in the Mediterranean and South Asia alike. This is that charm made in cotton rope: a glass nazar bead at the centre, coiled rope around it, and a fringe of tassels below. Twenty-four inches from hook to fringe.

Why this one
Most evil eye wall decor is a printed disc or a stamped metal plate. This one is worked in rope and thread by hand, with a real glass bead set into the middle, which gives it the texture the printed versions cannot fake. At 600 g it is light enough that a heavy-duty pushpin holds it - no drilling, which matters for renters and for the spot immediately beside a door frame.
Which colour
- Blue - the traditional colour, deep blue rope and fringe
- Red - red rope and fringe around the same blue glass eye
- Yellow - sunny yellow, the brightest of the four
- Pink - magenta rope and fringe
The glass eye at the centre is blue on all four - it is the rope and the tassels that change. Blue is the traditional choice; the other three exist because the charm is now as much a boho decor object as a protective one.
Where it goes
Beside a front door or an entryway, which is where the charm traditionally goes. Also above a bed, in a nursery, over a desk, or on a covered porch wall. The vertical shape suits the narrow strip between a door frame and a corner.
Care
Spot clean only. Cotton rope will not survive a wash, and water will mark the thread work. Shake the fringe out occasionally and comb it straight with your fingers.
