Turkish "Evil-Eye" necklace

This custom, traditional Turkish necklace carries a bit of culture, and a bit of good luck! The main features are the Turkish blue-glass "evil eye". The use of the evil eye symbol on jewelry is thought to reflect the evil glare back onto the person giving it. It is usually also depicted in the color blue, which stems from its use in Egypt, where glazed mud would become blue when baked. The red beads are glazed pottery beads, and the white disk beads are ivory composite. Spring ring clasp.
