Bead Crochet Bangle Bracelet with Evil Eye

A modern interpretation on the classic evil eye legend comes to life in this one-of-a-kind bangle bracelet.

Many people believe envious gazes or high praise from others can bring you bad luck in my native country Turkey. The people who praise you probably mean you no harm, but still, evil spirits can piggyback in on their words or looks.

According to Wikipedia:
"A nazar or evil eye stone (Turkish: nazar boncuğu) is an amulet from ancient mythology that protects against the evil eye. Colorful beads, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and all manner of decoration may be adorned by this particularly popular symbol, and it is common to see it on almost anything, from babies, horses, doors to cars, cell phones, and even airplanes."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye#Turkey )

This crochet bangle features one oval glas Turkish "Evil Eye" beads among two Crystal Spacer Beads and turquoise seed beads. It is crocheted by hooked needle. No metal, so it's wonderful for metal-sensitive people!

The inside diameter measures 7cm (2.8 inches) The bangles can easily be passed over your hand.Very strong and a great fashion accessory that can be worn casual or to dress up. This bangle bracelet is very comfy. It fits to any hand size and stays freely around your hand, but does not come down.

Bangle is awesome because:
1) It is incredibly sturdy and durable.
2) It doesn't unclasp or fall off, making it harder to lose!
3) It is very easy to put on and take off, none of that annoying clasp nonsense!

The Evil Eye stares back at the world to ward off the evil spirits and keep you safe from harm.
