Against the Evil Eye, Handmade Bracelet against the Evil Eye, Blue Bead (Nazar), Shamballa Weave
Red Thread bracelets against the evil eye – protect from negative energy, help with achieving desired goals and are an ancient method.
Every one of us has experienced the evil eye.
One of the most time-tested ways to protect yourself from the evil eye or ill-intentioned people is to wear a red thread or a red-thread bracelet and a protective talisman.
As a rule, the bracelet is tied on the person’s left wrist. The evil eye bracelet is also worn on the left wrist.
It should be red, because red is believed to counteract negative energy and ill intentions.
Nazar (nazar boncuk) or “blue eye”, “blue bead” (in Turkish: nazar boncuğu, in old Turkish gökçe munçuk, meaning “blue bead”) is an eye-shaped amulet believed to protect against the “evil eye”. The word “nazar” comes from the Arabic نظر, meaning “sight”, “gaze”.
Traditionally, the Nazar is a handmade glass ornament consisting of stylized concentric circles or drops in dark blue, white, light blue and black, sometimes also with yellow or gold tones around the edge.
The talisman is associated with Tengrism and is a legacy from the time of the Ottoman Empire. It is a common amulet or ornament in Turkey, as well as in countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Azerbaijan, where it can be found hanging in homes, offices and cars, on children’s clothing, or as part of jewelry and decorative ornaments.
Nazar amulets are known for their power to protect against the evil eye.
Shamballa (Tibetan: བདེ་འབྱུང་) is a mysterious land which, according to most legends, is located somewhere in the Himalayas. It is also known as Agartha. In Chinese, Russian and Tibetan myths it is described as the dwelling place of superhuman beings, similar to the Secret Masters of Blavatsky. In early Buddhist texts, Shamballa is mentioned as a source of esoteric wisdom. There are many myths about its location. The Chinese point to Mount Kunlun, while traditions from the Middle East point to the Altai.
In early Buddhist texts, Shamballa is mentioned as a source of esoteric wisdom, a place of supreme harmony where absolute virtue, peace and tranquility reign. This mysterious land is the homeland of the mystical Tibetan Shamballa bracelets. Peter Deunov, Nicholas Roerich, Helena Roerich, Ernst Muldashev and Jan van Helsing speak of the existence of the mysterious Shamballa.
Shamballa bracelets are believed to be an ancient Tibetan ornament worn by Buddhist monks in monasteries of the Far East and used during meditation to achieve supreme harmony.
Tibetan Shamballa bracelets have an intricate weave – today it is classified as a macramé technique.
Today Tibetan Shamballa bracelets are extremely popular among celebrities as well. A number of Hollywood celebrities wear Shamballa bracelets both as exquisite jewelry and to achieve inner harmony, spiritual peace and personal goals.
Tibetan Shamballa bracelets should be entirely handmade. They bring good luck and reflect your individual essence.
They are both beautiful jewelry and a talisman bringing strength, inner peace and love. In Tibet, for centuries they have been an amulet for good luck, harmony, health and prosperity of every kind!
Choosing the right jewelry size is essential for both comfort and appearance.
This is also one of the questions I am asked most often.
Whether it is a bracelet, ring or necklace, the right size makes the difference between “it fits” and “wow.”
In this guide, we will show you easy ways to measure your size at home – quickly and without special tools.
How to Measure Your Bracelet Size
Method 1: Using a Measuring Tape
Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist (exactly where you wear your bracelet)
Do not pull it too tight – it should feel comfortable
Note the measurement
Add:
- +1 cm for a closer fit
- +1.5–2 cm for a looser fit
Method 2: Using String or Ribbon
Wrap a piece of string around your wrist
Mark where the ends meet
Measure the length with a ruler
💡 Tip: If the bracelet is made with natural stones, it is better to choose a slightly looser size.
How Bracelet Type Affects Size
Elastic Bracelet
The most comfortable and versatile option
Stretches slightly when putting it on
Fits more closely around the wrist
If the bracelet is too small, it will feel tight and may leave marks on your wrist. It may even cause discomfort such as numbness because it restricts circulation. A bracelet that is too tight will also wear out and break more quickly.
If it is too large, it may slip off.
Recommendation: Choose +1 cm so it does not feel tight and remains comfortable
Bracelet with a Clasp
Does not stretch
Has a more structured, classic jewelry look
Requires a more precise fit with minimal extra room. We will make the bracelet with several extension rings for adjustment.
Recommendation: Choose +1.5–2 cm for comfortable freedom of movement
Shamballa / Adjustable Bracelet
Can be tightened or loosened
Suitable as a gift (less risk of choosing the wrong size)
Has a more relaxed fit on the wrist
Recommendation: Choose the closest size to the fit you want (for example 17–18 cm), because it can be adjusted
Practical tip: If the bracelet is made with larger stones (8 mm and above), add another ~0.5 cm – larger beads add volume and make the bracelet feel tighter.
Create your bracelet your way – for most of our designs, you can now choose an elastic bracelet, a clasp fastening or an adjustable Shamballa style
How to Measure Your Ring Size
There is a wide range of ring sizes.
Method 1: Using String or a Paper Strip
Wrap it around your finger
Mark where the ends meet
Measure in mm – ring sizing requires greater precision than bracelet sizing.
Method 2: Using a Ring You Already Own
Take a ring that fits you well
Measure the inside diameter
Compare it with a standard size chart
Important: Fingers can swell during the day → measure in the evening for the most accurate result.

How to Use the Chart
- If you measure with string → use the circumference (mm)
- If you have a ring → use the inside diameter
- In Bulgaria, EU sizing is used most commonly (e.g. 52, 54, 56)
A Small Practical Tip (Very Important)
- Measure in the evening – fingers are usually slightly more swollen
- If you are between two sizes → choose the larger one
- For wider bands → choose one size larger
How to Choose a Necklace Length
Standard lengths:
35–40 cm → choker (close around the neck)
45 cm → classic length
50–60 cm → a longer, looser necklace
Tip: If you layer necklaces, combine different lengths for a more striking look.
How to Measure Your Anklet Size
How to Measure
Wrap a measuring tape or string around your ankle
Measure exactly where you want the anklet to sit
Note the circumference
Add to the measurement:
- +1–1.5 cm → a closer fit (elegant and close to the skin)
- +2–2.5 cm → a looser fit (relaxed summer look)
Type of Anklet
Elastic
- Fits more closely
- More comfortable for everyday wear
Choose: +1–1.5 cm
With a Clasp
- Does not stretch
- Has a more elegant look
Choose: +2 cm
Adjustable (Shamballa / sliding closure)
- Can be adjusted
- Suitable as a gift
Choose a more precise size
Important: The ankle can swell during the day (especially in summer) → measure in the evening
If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Slightly loose is better than uncomfortably tight.
For Handmade Jewelry
Every piece of jewelry is unique, especially when natural stones are used.
Small variations in size are completely normal and part of their charm.
