Blue eyes (nazars) on sale

A nazar or evil eye stone (Turkish: nazar boncuฤŸu) is an amulet from ancient Turkish mythology (from Central Asia, shaman Turks) that protects against the evil eye.

It consists of concentric circles (from inside out: dark blue, light blue (or yellow), white, dark blue). Therefore it is sometimes called "Blue Eye".
