Here is a collection of 20 ethnic-style Three-Eyed dZi oval barrels from the Himalayan mountains of Tibet and Nepal which illustrate animal skins and the mythical three-eye dZi bead which promotes luck, happiness, honour, and longevity.
Often dZi beads are made with agate stone – but this collection is made using carnelian, which makes these dZi beads quite distinctive.
Measuring an average 11x15mm these are the beads of wealth and are tribal and ethnic in every sense. They are handmade beads that have been crafted by the nomadic people who are native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas.
And there’s no question they can be used to create amazing ethnic-inspired statement jewellery items such as necklaces, bracelets, or an ankle bangle.
These beautiful and unusual beads would make a wonderful addition to your jewellery-making box of special beads.
The beads provide lots of potential for creativity for those artisans with a bent for creating amazing Tibetan-inspired ethnic style or statement jewellery.
The beads are often used as currency when trading for goods.
The 20 beads in this collection weigh about 67 grams.
All our Tibetan beads contain a decent 2-3mm top-drill hole which makes them suitable for threading round leather, Tigertail, or craftline (similar to fishing line).
