Symbol before styling
The Eye of Horus is not another name for the Nazar.
The Eye of Horus, or wedjat, is an ancient Egyptian symbol associated with restoration, protection, and royal or funerary contexts. This guide remains available while no current Eye of Horus edition is listed.
Do not collapse the Eye of Horus, Nazar, Dzi eyes, and modern eye motifs into one universal symbol. Their histories, materials, and uses differ.

Eye of Horus Jewelry — Questions
Is the Eye of Horus the same as the evil eye?
No. The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol, while the evil eye describes a cross-cultural belief about harm from a hostile or envious gaze. The Nazar is one amulet used in response to that belief.
What is the difference between the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra?
The symbols overlap in later use but have distinct mythological associations. The Eye of Horus is commonly connected with restoration and protection; the Eye of Ra is more often associated with solar power and royal authority. Context matters.
Does an Egyptian-style pendant count as an ancient amulet?
No. A modern object can use ancient Egyptian imagery without being ancient, excavated, or ritually used. Age and provenance need evidence.
