Eye Dzi beads are among the most revered and powerful in Tibetan and Himalayan spiritual traditions. The eyes symbolize heightened perception, wisdom, and divine protection, serving as a guardian against negative energies, misfortune, and spiritual harm. In Buddhist culture, ‘seeing’ represents enlightenment, as the eyes of the Buddha are said to perceive both the material and spiritual worlds. They are most often worn as protective amulets and are sometimes ground into a powder for use in traditional Tibetan medicine. The artisans who make the Dzi embellish the lines and shapes of the beads using ancient methods such as darkening with plant sugar and heat, bleaching and etching white lines with natron, and protecting certain areas with fat, clay, wax, or a similar substance. The number of eyes on a Dzi bead further influences its specific meaning and purpose.

The Twelve-Eye Dzi bead is a symbol of wisdom, enlightenment, and divine blessings. It represents the twelve heavens, the twelve months of the year, and the twelve auspicious qualities of life, including harmony, success, and spiritual awakening.
