Restrung Tibetan coral and turquoise

 

Thanks, Simona.
The two triangles stand for the male and female principles, and the balance between the two.

 

I am sure that would work, it would be a beautiful coral and turquoise beaded bag.

Beautiful, reader.

 

These are so beautiful and a great collection!

 

Thank you ezee.

 

Why some Dzi beads cost only a few pounds while others run into thousands?
What’s the difference?

 

Hundreds of thousands...I’ll leave this question to @Any Jewelry
but in the 70s ancient ones could be bought for around $500-$1500 depending on condition and were medicinal religious beads.

 

I don't know exactly, but there are many new repros that don't cost a lot.
The old Dzi beads are much more rare and expensive. And then there is the factor of design, some designs are more sought after. The designs would have been more difficult to make in the old days, which adds to the value.

I used to have a link to an excellent Dzi site where the differences were explained, but I lost it in a computer crash.

 

I like those that are naturally patterned:

I think all man made beads imitate some natural pattern.

 

I know it’s about age and actual Tibetan religious use.

 

Those are beautiful.
I have a few naturally patterned ones too. My favourite is a meteorite Dzi bead.

 

Meteorite?

 

Meteorite. I'll see if I can find it (so many boxes), if I do, I'll post a photo.
