We never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.

The nine eyes on this bead sit against a ground so deep it reads as almost black, but both ends tell a different story, warming to rich reddish-brown where the stone meets the drill.

This is a newly crafted Taiwan dzi, made within roughly the last twenty years from high-quality natural agate using the traditional dzi crafting technique. Warm reddish-brown at each drilled end gives way to a very deep dark brown through the body, a near-black that the agate's natural banding shows to be brown rather than true black. The nine eye motif is etched in clean, even cream, with stepped connecting lines running the full length in a precise geometric pattern.

The surface is smooth and well polished end to end, with an even gloss across the dark body, the warmer ends and the cream lines. The drill channel is centred and clean at both ends. No cracks, chips or surface damage are visible in any of the photos.

The Nine Eye Motif

The Nine Eye motif is known as the King of All Dzi, traditionally associated with wealth, authority and drawing in good fortune. It is especially prized in business communities across Asia. Read more in The Nine Eye Dzi Bead: Symbolism and Significance.
