Nazar Suraksha Kawach means the "evil eye bead", is actually a stone bead, which is worn to protect oneself from evil looks. The stone is a blend of molten glass, iron, copper, water and salt. This exacting combination of minerals and metals is believed to provide a shield from the forces of evil. The Nazar Suraksha Kawach has the sign of an eye worked upon it. The symbol of the eye is regarded as a strong amulet for protection against evil forces in almost every culture of the world like Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian. Thus, in Turkey, you have an eye for an eye.
