Wooden bead, round, eye design, 10x11 mm, hole 3 mm, blue - 20 grams, ±60 pieces

Painted wooden bead in the shape of a ball - eye design.

This wooden bead is a variation of the traditional glass bead used against the "evil eye" and symbolizes protection from negative energies. It is often used to transform jewelry into a protective amulet. Wood, with its nourishing energy and protective properties, is one of nature’s most noble creations, offering its resources unconditionally. The traditional Bulgarian Martenitsa is a form of amulet, which is why these beads are frequently used in the making of Martenitsa.

The symbolism of the evil eye: The belief that evil eyes are capable of causing harm with their impure power is ancient and not without reason. Who among us hasn’t felt pierced by a jealous glance? Is there anyone who hasn’t, at some point, become a conduit of negative energy when feeling threatened, offended, insecure, or angry? Reflect on these questions, and you’ll realize it’s wise to arm yourself with all the goodness at your disposal. Whether the eye is of Nazar, Horus, or Fatima, as the legends are many, the name matters little. What is important is the faith that empowers the amulet.
