The Turkish Evil Eye Silver (2 inch) is a larger nazar wall/door hanging, made in the classic blue-and-white glass eye set against a silver-tone frame. At 2 inches across, it's sized to make a statement by a front door, window, or altar rather than disappear into a bag or keyring. Because it's meant for display rather than everyday carry, the frame and hanging loop are built sturdier than a small keychain charm.

Meaning & tradition
In Turkish tradition, the nazar is hung near entryways, windows, and gathering spaces, traditionally believed to guard the home against unwanted energy and envious glances. A larger piece like this one is often chosen specifically for display, where it can be seen as guests come and go. It pairs naturally with other home decor and protection and grounding pieces, including our Turkish Evil Eye (Gold, 1.5") for a mixed-metal display.
Many households display more than one nazar at different entrances or windows, treating it as a recurring decorative motif throughout the home rather than a single placement.
Care & handling
This is a decorative glass piece, so hang it somewhere it won't be bumped or knocked, and dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking it in water, which can dull the silver-tone finish over time. Hang it out of reach of small children, since the glass can chip or shatter if it's pulled down.
If the frame shows fingerprints or dust buildup, a soft dry cloth is usually enough — avoid glass cleaners with ammonia, which can affect the silver-tone finish over time.
