Among those who believe in this traditional superstition, the main reason behind the evil eye is a person's extreme feel of envy. However, it is also held that when a person is admired too much or is loved too extremely, the evil eye may strike.
Aside from protecting its wearer from harm or evil, the blue bead finds place often on rings and necklaces or among Turkish motifs. The blue bead is not only the most widespread talisman used to ward off evil in Anatolia, it is sometimes placed on silver or gold jewelry coupled with the inscription "God Bless". It is also believed that the evil eye affects not only the humans, but also plants, animals, and homes; so the blue bead is used to protect these as well.
The "Evil Eye" is a common belief among the people of the Mediterranean. It is widely believed that if one person gives another a hateful look, he or she may become ill or even die from its negative effects. The strength behind the evil look is the "evil eye". This belief streches back to the pre-Christian era.
