***************

Turkish Evil Eye Beads are still crafted the same techniques used centuries ago.

Traditional hand made beads are probably the oldest fashion item still going on and only getting more popular and more valued.

Turkish Evil Eye making is a dying art, because of the difficulty of production and also competition from cheap Chinese imitations.

We buy our hand made glass beads directly from local Turkish Evil Eye makers.

Once there were over 100 craftsmen in many villages, now just three remaining villages produce these unique glass beads and only two artists left in one of three remaining villages, that's where we buy our beads.

Last of few artisans who are still producing using traditional furnaces have produced these exclusive, all natural products which cleverly combine our rich history and modern living in a single colourful item.

Turkish artisans use recycled glass, they melt glass in their generations old furnaces that burn pine logs. Once melted mix them with special dyes and they shape the red hot molten glass, fuse all colours together one at a time with greatest talent passed down from generations. To create these exceptional beads they only use simple hand tools.

*These are fine examples of handmade Glass Evil Eye Breads, all selected by me and my husband. Due to the handmade nature of these products there could be slight imperfections, such as different colorations, marbling and veins on the beads and imperfections on shape. This is perfectly normal and it is what gives these beads authentic and rustic looks.
