Authentic Glass Evil Eye Beads. Today, the real Turkish glass evil eye beads ( nazar boncugu ) are produced only in Görece and Kurudere villages near Izmir, by a handful of craftsmen that have devoted their lives to this art. The 3000 years old antique Mediterranean glass art lives in these eye bead furnaces with its every detail.After so many years in front of the gleaming fire, the masters turn into suffering dervishes.In the compartments of the furnace, there is liquid glass that has taken the colour of the fire. Soon this liquid will be enlivened by the skilled hands of the evil eye bead masters.The roots of the very few glass masters that still practice this age old tradition goes back to the Arabian artisans who settled in Izmir and its towns during the decline of the Ottoman Empire by the end of 19 Th century. These masters of glass produce the magic objects of a universal belief with an amazing technique. We offer a large selection of evil eye beads from old furnaces .
