The Tiger Tooth Dzi bead is a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and protection. It is associated with the ferocity and resilience of the tiger, an animal revered in Tibetan culture for its fearlessness and dominance over negative forces. The sharp, angular stripes represent the tiger's fangs, signifying the ability to ward off evil, conquer obstacles, and instill confidence in the wearer. 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 Two-Eye Dzi bead represents balance, harmony, and partnership. In Tibetan tradition, it symbolizes the union of Yin and Yang, helping to stabilize emotions, relationships, and personal energy. This bead is believed to attract love, marital happiness, and harmonious connections, making it especially beneficial for those seeking companionship or strengthening existing bonds.

The Three-Eye Dzi bead is one of the most powerful symbols of prosperity, wisdom, and success in Tibetan culture. It represents the three deities of wealth and spiritual power: Dzambhala (prosperity), Manjushri (wisdom), and Vajrapani (strength). This bead is believed to attract financial abundance, enhance intelligence, and empower the wearer with confidence and resilience.
