This handmade evil eye mangalsutra bracelet blends traditional South Asian design with a protective charm that is widely associated with warding off negative energy. Black beads are a classic feature of mangalsutra-style jewellery, while the evil eye — known as nazar — is traditionally believed to offer protection to the wearer. Together, they create a piece that feels both meaningful and beautifully crafted.
Available in Green / Gold and Green / Silver, the adjustable fit makes it a comfortable everyday bracelet for most wrist sizes. Lightweight and easy to wear, it also makes a thoughtful gift for a girlfriend, for anniversaries, or for graduation.
Wear It With
Pair this bracelet with a kurta or saree for a traditional look, or layer it with other fine bracelets for a relaxed boho style. It transitions effortlessly from everyday wear to special occasions, making it a versatile summer accessory with genuine cultural character.
This mangalsutra-style nazar bracelet layers well with slimmer gold chains for everyday wear, and sits naturally beside the beaded, enamel, and chain-link versions in our Evil Eye Bracelet Collection. This mangalsutra bracelet in gold or silver pairs the black beads with the evil eye charm for a design that works as everyday jewellery.
