This necklace is made from a batch of special, new agate Dziri beads sourced by our team and assembled by Kunga. It is a high quality replica of the ancient 3 eye dzi beads which now sell for thousands of dollars. The surface is smooth to touch and the condition of the bead is excellent. This particular Dzi bead shows a wealth vase (Tibetan: Bhumpa) pattern.
Dzi beads usually adorn deities in Tibetan Buddhism and are worn as an amulet. The specific origins of such beads are still a mystery, and these were usually found by animal herders and farmers in ancient Tibet when trawling through their land.
Dzi beads are usually paired with coral and turquoise, which are popular Tibetan gemstones. At this price point, our particular combination uses replica beads (compressed turquoise and coral). It is strung on high quality cord with an adjustable knot and can be worn by both men and women.
