Dzi Bead, Reproduction

Probably the most well known of ancient trade beads.  Real dzi beads are thought to be the tears of a goddess or mythical bugs.  They are believed to contain powerful healing properties and medicinal elixirs have been made of a tiny sliver of ground agate bead.  The real beads will cost as much as $1000 per 'eye,' or circle.

Thieyu or Tsieyu Bead

Worn for communication with the divine.

Fancy Silver Composite Coral

Brass Beads

Sherpa Coral

'Coral' is a bit misleading.  This is actually wound glass.  It is a trade bead that is comonly worn by the hill tribe, 'Sherpa,' people of the Himalayas.  Each piece is individually hand wound and they may be as many as three hundred years old.  I find them only occaisionally in odd places like in Nepal.  They are sold by weight .20 per gram.

Each of these prayer malas is inscribed with the prayer, "om me ni pad me hum," on every bead.  They come in brass nickle or copper.

The jewel within the lotus represents the mystery of life. It is the budding complexity within which dwells the jewel of truth.
