Gold Evil Eye Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

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.

At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value. Enamel, glass and non-gold stone elements are excluded from the weight.
