Nazar boncukları bilinen yaklaşık 3.000 yıldır kullanılmaktadır. Tarih boyunca cam boncuklar aynı zamanda süslenme objeleri olarak kullanılmışlardır. Cam boncuk sanatının Türkiye’ye gelmesi ülkelerini bırakıp Türkiye'ye göç eden iki Suriyeli cam ustası sayesinde olmuştur. Boncukköy’de, zor ama güzel bir el sanatı olan nazar boncuğunu yurtiçi ve yurtdışında tanıtmak için yeni ürünler üretme çabası devam etmektedir.
