Gold Evil Eye Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
The evil eye (nazar) pendant is a protective symbol believed to ward off negative energy and bad luck – popular across Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Turkish cultures. Gold evil eye pendants often combine gold settings with blue enamel or coloured stones representing the eye.

What to Watch For
Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing
Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing
No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement
Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
