Dear Customer,
The belief "evil eye" has
been common throughout history in a broad geography. In
Turkey and adjacent countries, especially in the Middle
East, "evil eye" represents the harm, which one may
receive to his/her health, wealth and success. Our beads
had been created in the thought to keep the "evil eye"
away. Throughout history the beads also have been used
as jewelry objects. The traditional art of glassmaking
goes back to approximately 3.000 years ago. As like many
events, two glassmakers, who decided to leave their
hometown in Syria and settled on the West Coast of
Turkey transferred their knowledge and gave birth to the
beloved Turkish glass beads tradition.
As you may see in the photographs, beads are still being
made the way like the way 3.000 years ago. Certain level
of heat, gained by wood, talented craftsmen create the
unique pieces today. The small earthen kilns do possess
the same curing properties as an industrial kiln,
although it had been created back in history.
Each piece you will buy will be unique owing to the
traditional art of glassmaking of beads. Also note that
the size of the beads can again not exceed a certain
extent. For further interest, in the way our glass beads
are made, please do contact us. It would a pleasure to
inform you, or even welcome you here at Bead Village!
