What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bead is not a genuine antique. It was crafted before the year 2000 with a deliberately antique-style appearance, and it now carries over two decades of its own age — but it is not a centuries-old piece, and should not be confused for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere its sibling V-FA-062126-12E-LK carried sandy-cream motif lines, this one reads warmer: the fourteen ring eyes and their connecting curves are rendered in a richer honey-gold tone against the deep black ground, a genuinely different colour register visible across all standard photographs. Fourteen closed ring eyes fill the bead's faces, connected by flowing curved lines that run without hard breaks between them — the same continuous construction tradition as the Twelve Eye piece, extended here across a longer body with two more eyes added to the count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne face carries a particularly notable detail: one of the ring eyes is set within a larger, elaborately framed outer ring with a slightly irregular, octagonal-edged boundary rather than a clean circle — a natural variation in the etching that makes that face distinct from the others and confirms the handcrafted character of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ends carry the same large keyhole-style drill openings seen on V-FA-062126-12E-LK, making it the second large-keyhole piece in the collection. The motif lines show fine granular surface texture consistent with the bead's age. No cracks or chips are visible in any of the six photographs provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Fourteen Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tibetan dzi tradition, the Fourteen Eye motif is associated with breakthroughs in professional and spiritual life — the bead understood as an aid to those seeking to discover new strengths, open new doors, and deepen meditative and spiritual practice. Where the Twelve Eye motif carries themes of authority and cosmic order, the Fourteen Eye adds a more active dimension: movement, growth, and the unlocking of potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpec Block\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fourteen Eye 十四眼 — fourteen closed ring eyes, continuous curved-line construction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.8mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated barrel, rounded ends\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep black ground, warm honey-gold motif lines with fine surface granularity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage — crafted before 2000; this is not a genuine antique or ancient bead, though it now carries over two decades of its own age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrilling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large Keyhole (LK) — wide keyhole-style openings at both ends, same production tradition as V-FA-062126-12E-LK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cracks or chips visible; fine granular texture in motif lines consistent with age; one ring eye on one face carries a larger, irregular octagonal-edged outer frame — a natural handcrafted variation, not damage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-FA-062126-14E-LK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/taiwan-dzi\"\u003eVintage Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/all-products\"\u003eAll Products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts companion piece(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts large-keyhole companion:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/vintage-twelve-eye-motif-dzi-bead-vfa062126-12e-lk\"\u003eVintage Twelve Eye Motif Dzi Bead (V-FA-062126-12E-LK)\u003c\/a\u003e — $500.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for an antique piece?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-six-eye-dzi-bead-honey-gold-dark-brown-at-053026-6e\"\u003eAntique Six Eye Dzi Bead, 54.9mm × 12.3mm, Honey-Gold End Caps, Dark Brown Agate (At-053026-6E)\u003c\/a\u003e — $2,200.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-dzi-bead-53mm-dark-brown-agate-200-400yr-at-070626-9e\"\u003eNine Eye Motif Dzi, 53.3×12.3mm, Deep Dark Brown Agate (At-070626-9E)\u003c\/a\u003e — $800.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the blog\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/real-vs-fake-dzi-beads-the-definitive-collectors-guide-to-authentic-tibetan-dzi\"\u003eHow to Tell Real vs. Fake Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/taiwan-dzi-beads-vintage-1980s-guide\"\u003eTaiwan Dzi Beads: A Guide to 1980s Vintage Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame drilling, warmer gold, two more eyes — and one face that the craftsman didn't quite repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📷 \u003cem\u003eWe never retouch our photos.
