Nine-Eye Dzi-Style Bead

The elongated agate bead carries a repeated nine-eye-style pattern and is presented with a braided cord. Surface wear, pattern alignment and colour should be judged from the current photographs.

Material behaviour explains most of what happens to a piece after a year of wear, so it is worth being specific. Agate Dzi-style bead — an agate bead whose eye and stripe patterns sit in contrasting bands across the stone. Day to day, because the pattern is inside the stone rather than applied, it does not wear off with handling. The age is a material with an even surface and everyday-wear proportions. Against the skin, it holds up to regular wear with the usual care. Inside the piece, the origin unverified is a material with an even surface and everyday-wear proportions. Handled often, it holds up to regular wear with the usual care.

The price refers to the selected photographed piece. Its age, Tibetan origin and ritual history are unverified, so it is described only as Dzi-style.

Care

Avoid impact, perfume, chemicals and prolonged water exposure. Store separately and wipe with a soft dry cloth. Care for it as you would a polished agate: keep it away from chemicals and impact, and wipe it dry after wear. Keep it dry, avoid perfumes and household chemicals, and wipe it with a soft cloth after wear. A soft dry cloth after each wear is usually enough; store it separately to limit contact marks.
