In many Indian households, the arrival of a newborn is celebrated with rituals, prayers, and symbols of protection. Among these, the baby nazariya stands out as a cherished tradition—a simple yet powerful piece of jewelry meant to shield infants from negativity and evil eye. At Silvaay, we bring this age-old tradition to life with thoughtfully crafted 925 silver nazariyas that are safe, stylish, and steeped in meaning.
What Is a Nazariya and Why Babies Wear It
A nazariya, also known as nazar battu or evil eye bracelet, is a talisman worn by babies to protect them from envious or negative glances. The core belief is rooted in the idea that babies, because of their innocence and beauty, are especially vulnerable to the evil eye. Tying a nazariya around a baby’s wrist or ankle is a gesture of love and care—an unspoken blessing from the family.
Typically made with black beads—believed to absorb negative energy—and silver for its purifying qualities, the nazariya is more than adornment. It’s a symbol of the parents’ and grandparents’ desire to safeguard the child’s health, happiness, and peaceful development.
History, Tradition, and Symbolism
The use of talismans for evil eye protection spans continents and centuries—from the Mediterranean to the Indian subcontinent. In Indian culture, the black-bead thread or bangle evolved into a silver-accented bracelet, combining ritual with refinement.
Each element of the nazariya holds deep meaning:
-
Black Beads: Absorb and neutralize negativity
-
Silver Elements: Channel purity and divine energy
-
Knotted Threads or Chains: Represent continuity and protection
These bracelets are often gifted during naamkaran (naming ceremonies), birthdays, or religious festivals, making them not just protective amulets but emotional keepsakes that tie into family history and blessings.

How to Care for Your Baby’s Silver Nazariya
Caring for your baby’s nazariya ensures it retains both its shine and sentiment. Follow these simple steps to keep it in pristine condition:
-
Gentle Wipe After Use
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off oils, sweat, or dust accumulated during the day. -
Proper Storage
Store it in Silvaay’s anti-tarnish pouch or original gift box to avoid exposure to air and moisture. -
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Keep away from lotions, perfumes, and soaps that may react with silver. -
Occasional Polishing
Use a baby-safe silver polish for deeper cleaning. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean cloth. -
Replace Threads if Needed
If your nazariya uses a nylon or cotton thread and it frays, simply rethread it using a soft, baby-safe string while retaining the silver elements.

At Silvaay, we believe that presentation is part of the experience. Every order comes beautifully packed with optional touches to elevate your gift:

Beyond Protection: Repurposing Your Nazariya
Once your child outgrows the nazariya, don’t store it away—transform it into something meaningful:
-
Pendant Necklace: Attach the charm to a dainty silver chain and wear it as a symbol of your child’s early days.
-
Keychain Charm: Keep it close with your keys as a token of protection and memory.
-
Scrapbook or Memory Box Accessory: Glue or attach it to your child’s baby book for a sentimental touch.
These ideas help extend the life of your nazariya and preserve the emotional value it carries.
