About Dzi Beads (Chong Dzi Beads):
Dzi Beads are ancient beads from Tibet, akin to Etched Carnelian, where patterns are created by burning natural dyes onto agate. These beads are believed to have been made between the 1st and 6th centuries AD. The composition of the dyes used in the burning process remains partially mysterious, adding to the bead's allure. Primarily discovered in Tibet, they are also found in Bhutan and the Ladakh region of the Himalayas. Different patterns, especially the round "eye" motif, are associated with various meanings. Well-preserved beads with these patterns are highly coveted. In Tibet, Dzi Beads are considered talismans for wealth and prosperity, treasured and passed down through generations. Recently, their popularity has surged in China, where they are known as "Tianzhu" and widely replicated. However, authentic ancient Dzi Beads remain extremely rare and valuable.
