Evil-Eye Silver Bracelets (Nazariya)
925 nazar bracelets — enamel eye on chain or cord.
An evil-eye bracelet — nazariya, nazar battu or 'lucky eye' — is a wrist piece carrying the blue-and-white eye motif, worn across India, Turkey and West Asia as a traditional symbol of protection from nazar. This collection gathers anokhi's 925 sterling silver versions: hand-set enamel eyes on fine rhodium chains, oxidised silver nazar charms on adjustable black cord, and matching pairs for couples. Every eye is set into genuine sterling silver rather than plated alloy, and every piece is BIS hallmarked. Prices start at ₹2,598 and each ships gift-boxed, which is why the nazariya remains one of India's most-given protective gifts.
About evil-eye silver bracelets (nazariya)
Is the evil eye real silver or just an enamel bead?
The setting, chain, jump rings and clasp are all 925 sterling silver, BIS hallmarked. The eye itself is hand-set enamel or glass, which is what gives the blue-and-white colour — no metal is plated over base alloy.
What does a nazariya bracelet mean?
It is a traditional symbol worn to ward off nazar (the evil eye) — a cultural custom across India, Turkey and West Asia. We sell it as jewellery and a meaningful gift; we make no astrological, healing or protective claims beyond the tradition itself.
Which wrist should you wear an evil-eye bracelet on?
Custom varies by region and family; the left wrist is the more common preference in India. Practically, the non-dominant wrist takes less knocking, so it suits a fine chain better.
Do you have evil-eye bracelets for men and couples?
Yes — the oxidised cord style is unisex, and the collection includes matching nazariya pairs for couples. Heavier men's bracelets sit in our Men's Silver category.
