Where do Dzi bead come from?



One of the things we get asked about the most are our Dzi beads. What are they? Where do they come from? and Why haven't I heard much about them before?

I'll tell you. Dzi beads are Amazing! In China and Tibet you can't go anywhere without seeing people wearing them. People here believe that Dzi beads are magical. And, I have to tell you.....I'm starting to think so too!

If you have ever seen Dzi beads before you know that there are many different patterns and shapes. The circles on the Dzi are called eyes and the number of eyes represent different things for you or your life. The 9 eyes bead is one of the most popular, it may help you bring in money and see things in your life more clearly. 

I have been told two different stories about where Dzi beads come from. A long, long time ago in Tibet, it was only the Gods who were allowed to wear Dzi beads. But, when their Dzi beads became old, scratched, chipped or broken they would throw the beads down from the heaven to earth. Then lucky people were able to find the worn beads. 

In the other story the Dzi beads are alive. Farmers working in the fields would see the Dzi beads moving around like worms. If they threw sand or dirt on to the beads they would freeze and become stone. Then they were able to wear the beads. 

Dzi beads are ancient and have been worn for centuries in Asia, especially by those who are spiritual or religious. But, in the last few years the beads have been making a huge come back with the younger generation. I was told, that a couple of years ago there was a plane crash in Taipei, Taiwan. And, sadly there was only one survivor. When he was interviewed later, he told the news crew that it was only because of his Dzi bead bracelet that he was still alive and that he would never go anywhere without it. 

The beads will absorb all the negativity in your life. If you don't believe me, try it our for yourself! 


This is a photo of the two eye dzi bead. Wear this one if you want more balance and harmony in your life. The two eyes represent yin and yang. Balance...who couldn't use more of that?!?!
