Antique Tibetan Two-Eye Dzi Bead with Family Provenance

Antique Tibetan Two-Eye Dzi Bead with Family Provenance

Antique Tibetan Two-Eye Dzi Bead – an heirloom with a documented family history

This antique two-eye Dzi bead originates from Tibet and is a truly unique piece with a personal history. It was passed down through generations of Tibetan families before KARMAS Tibet Store acquired it directly from a Tibetan family living in Switzerland. Its deep, developed patina and visible signs of wear tell the story of a long life spent as a protective amulet.

Provenance

The bead is a Tibetan family heirloom that was handed down from one family to another. It was acquired from a Tibetan family residing in Switzerland. Originally, it was part of a traditional necklace—combined with coral and a Tibetan *Gau* (amulet box)—of the type worn in Tibet as personal protective jewelry.

Significance of the two eyes

In Tibetan tradition, Dzi beads are considered highly valuable protective stones. According to tradition, the two eyes symbolize harmony, partnership, and the balance between body and mind. Many wearers also value the bead as a symbol of protection against negative influences. These meanings are rooted in cultural and spiritual traditions.
