How Does Evil Eye Protection Work?
The Eye Symbol: The concentric circle design mimics the human eye. It acts as a "decoy" - when someone looks at you with envy, their negative gaze is drawn to and absorbed by the evil eye amulet instead of affecting you.
Blue Color Significance: Blue is the color of the sky and water - representing infinite space that can absorb negativity. In many cultures, blue-eyed people were believed to cast the evil eye (being rare in Mediterranean/Middle Eastern regions), so blue amulets were used to "fight fire with fire."
Breaking = Protection: When your evil eye amulet breaks or cracks, it has absorbed significant negative energy. This is why broken amulets should be replaced immediately - they've done their job!

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when evil eye bracelet breaks?
A broken evil eye means it has absorbed significant negative energy and protected you from harm. This is actually a GOOD sign - it means the bracelet did its job! Thank it for its protection, dispose of it respectfully (bury in garden or flowing water), and replace with a new one immediately.
Can I wear evil eye with other religious symbols?
Yes, evil eye protection is a universal concept found in Hinduism (Drishti), Islam (Nazar), Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism. You can wear it alongside Om, cross, hamsa, or any religious symbol. Protection energies complement each other.
Which hand should I wear evil eye bracelet on?
The LEFT hand is traditional and most effective - it's your "receiving" hand that absorbs energy from outside. The evil eye on your left wrist filters incoming negative energy before it enters your aura. Some traditions say right hand for "active" protection when dealing with specific people.
Can evil eye be given as a gift?
Yes! Giving evil eye jewelry as a gift shows you care about the person's protection. It's a thoughtful gift for babies, newlyweds, new homeowners, or anyone starting new ventures. The protective intention of the giver adds extra power.
How often should I cleanse my evil eye jewelry?
Cleanse every week if you're in high-exposure situations (public facing job, social media, jealous colleagues). Monthly cleansing is fine for normal use. Methods: moonlight overnight, sage smoke, salt water (if material allows), or placing on selenite.
Can I wear evil eye in the shower or while sleeping?
Avoid wearing in water as it may damage the bead. For sleeping, it's generally fine but some people find it too protective/stimulating. If you have disturbed sleep, remove at night. Keep near your bed instead.
Evil Eye in Indian Culture
In India, the evil eye is deeply integrated into daily life. Called Drishti in South India and Nazar in North India, it's taken seriously by all religions and communities. From the nimbu-mirchi hanging in every shop to the kaala tikka on every baby, protection from evil eye is a cultural norm rather than superstition.
Modern Indians increasingly combine traditional methods with the popular Turkish "nazar boncugu" blue eye amulet, creating a fusion of protective practices. Whether you believe in the metaphysical aspects or view it as psychological protection, the practice of guarding against negativity remains valuable.
