Frequently asked questions

Where does the agate come from?

Our agate comes from the Mount Kailash mountain range in Ngari, Tibet. We source it from local collectors.

Who crafts our Dzi beads?

After sourcing the agate, our own artisans craft it into Dzi beads, giving care to the natural stone and each detail of the finished piece.

What do one to nine eyes symbolise?

These are the symbolic meanings we share with our pieces; interpretations vary across traditions.

One eye · Focus and clarity
Two eyes · Harmony and companionship
Three eyes · Blessings, prosperity and longevity
Four eyes · Wisdom and protection
Five eyes · Abundance and fulfilment
Six eyes · Harmony and balance
Seven eyes · Fulfilment and achievement
Eight eyes · Auspiciousness and a smooth journey
Nine eyes · Wholeness and completeness

How are the patterns made?

Our artisans use an etched-pattern technique: designs are drawn onto the agate, then developed through treatment and firing. Natural stone and carefully worked patterns come together in each bead.

Is every piece blessed before it reaches me?

Yes. After each artwork is completed, it must receive a blessing from our Master Tenzin before leaving our workshop and making its way to you, carrying our wishes for peace and well-being.

How should I wear and care for my Dzi?

Avoid knocks, drops, sudden temperature changes, perfume and cleaning chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry. Care for silver and other companion materials separately, and check cords and connections regularly for wear.

Dzi · Form & meaning

The story of this piece

Dema Three-Eye Dzi & Yak Bone Bracelet

A three-eye Dzi-style bead and pale yak-bone accents make this bracelet a warm emblem of discernment, a wish to bring patience to the choices that shape daily life.

Creative Inspiration

Three questions are written in the margin of a notebook: What matters? What can wait? What comes next? The focal bead becomes an imagined place to keep those questions before answering them.

Materials & Craft

Main Motif: three-eye Dzi-style bead
Materials: agate-style beads, yak bone accent, woven elastic cord
Approximate Bead Size: 10 mm

Natural Variation

Bead tone, surface marks, bone color, cord tension, and spacing may vary slightly. These small differences are part of beadwork made from natural and hand-finished materials.

Folklore & Symbolism

In Himalayan ornament traditions, the three-eye Dzi motif is often linked in folk stories with balance, clarity, and auspicious direction. Yak bone is also used in Tibetan-style craft as a material connected with plateau life and durable everyday wear.

Care

Keep away from prolonged water, perfume, sweat, and harsh chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store separately to protect the bead surface and cordwork.

Dzi eye patterns and their cultural meanings

The dZi Note

Objects we choose to keep close

Across Himalayan cultures, dZi beads may be carried as objects of memory, family, and personal meaning. Their stories differ by place and by person. Read the cultural note behind the form.

Our intention

We began with a simple intention: to offer pieces worth keeping close. Our approach is to choose stones with care, looking at their individual grain, colour and character, and to give equal attention to the craft around them — the balance of a composition, the feel of a cord and the finish of each detail. We value thoughtful selection over uniformity, and workmanship that lets the material speak. From the first choice of stone to the final presentation, our aim is a piece that feels considered, personal and made to stay with you.
