The Nazar, the watchful eye, is one of the oldest protective symbols we have. Across India, Turkey, Greece and beyond, it is hung in doorways and tied to wrists for the same quiet reason: to absorb the glance that wishes you less than well, so it never reaches you.

This collection is Preetibala's take on that tradition. Each eye is set by hand, capped in gold tone metal with a small cubic zirconia at either end, and braided onto an adjustable cord you can slide to fit any wrist.

Wear one, stack three, clip it to your bag, hang it from the rearview mirror, or tie it above a doorway. Protection travels well.
