The Blue Bead of the Anatolia

The Blue Bead of the Anatolia
The Blue Bead is the talisman of the thousand years from Anatolia. Still it averts evil eyes all over the world. It is the reflection of an old Anatolian belief which lies in the glass.

During human history the eye figure has always been accepted as a powerful magic symbol which fights against evil. The symbol is found in Jewish, Christian and Islam cultures side by side with Buddhism and Indian society. This common tradition gained a new look with the Anatolian 3000 years old glass art. An Anatolian glass artist created a brand new protecting spell by combining the power of the eye figure with the fire. The result was the blue bead.

Ever since people have attached a blue bead to everything they wanted to protect from the evil. No matter if it’s for their new born babies, horses and even for their houses. The blue bead tradition is still living in Anatolia. The sparkling blue beads shaped in the talented hands of rare artists are still spreading all over the world from Anatolia.
