Necklace – Ebony with Tibetan Turquoise and Dzi Bead
Matte black ebony beads form the understated base of this necklace; at its center, a dzi bead—flanked by two turquoise rondelles—adds a striking accent. In Tibetan culture, Dzi beads are considered powerful protective amulets—depending on the pattern, the tiger’s tooth, wavy line, or four eyes symbolize strength, endurance, and protection in all directions. A silver lobster clasp fastens the necklace.

Dzi stones are among the most sought-after beads from Tibet and the Himalayas. They are considered good-luck charms and protective amulets and are traditionally worn around the neck on a string or in ornate jewelry. Their name means “radiance” and refers to their spiritual power. They are usually made of agate and feature distinctive patterns such as lines or eyes. The origins of ancient Dzi beads remain shrouded in mystery and legend to this day. The Dzi beads used here are also made of agate and date from more recent times.
