About Dzi Beads (Striped Dzi Beads):

Dzi Beads are ancient beads originating from Tibet. Similar to etched carnelian, they are crafted by applying natural dyes to agate and then baking the design. It is believed they were made around the 1st to 6th centuries AD. However, the exact composition of the dyes used remains a mystery, making these beads one of the most enigmatic antique beads. While primarily found in Tibet, they are also discovered in Bhutan and the Ladakh region of the Himalayas. The different baked patterns are thought to hold various meanings, with the round "eye" designs being particularly treasured. In Tibet, these beads are considered amulets for wealth and prosperity, passed down through generations and highly valued as ornaments. Recently, they have gained popularity in China under the name "Tian Zhu" (Heavenly Beads), with many replicas made using similar techniques. However, ancient Dzi Beads remain extremely rare and precious.
