Kumbu Tiger Tooth Dzi Bead & Amber Beaded Necklace

Kumbu Tiger Tooth Dzi Bead & Amber Beaded Necklace

This statement necklace gathers the warmth of the Tibetan plateau into a single strand. A genuine tiger-tooth dzi bead—recognized by its bold brown-and-cream banding—takes center place, paired with aged amber discs, black seed beads, gold-toned lantern beads, and small turquoise spacers. The design is named Kumbu, evoking the quiet strength of highland craft and the slow, deliberate rhythm of handmade jewelry.

Folklore & Symbolism

Tiger-tooth dzi beads have long been treasured in Himalayan traditions as talismans of courage and steadfast protection. The alternating bands are said to mirror the tiger’s stripes—an emblem of focus, vitality, and the ability to move through difficulty with clarity. Amber, once tree resin from ancient highland forests, carries a warm, grounding energy, while turquoise has been used for generations as a stone of safe passage and connection to the land.
