This is a Tibetan bead clip-on charm.

The bead is a Tibetan tzi, or zee bead, made from agate stone. (It is a new bead, not an antique one) I bought it from a Tibetan trader outside the Dalai Lama's teachings in Bodhgaya, India in 2018. He had brought it down from Tibet where it was made. 

I have made it into a charm by adding the sterling silver lobster clasp. (I also have a matching pair of earrings in my shop.

The bead is  1.4 cm long. The charm is 3cm  (just over 1") long, including the clasp.


I have designed this charm and made it with my own hands. I have been making my living exclusively from designing and making jewellery for 9 years. I travel every year to seek out old and tribal silver from Asia and India along with semi-precious stones. Back at home in Brighton, England, I make these loose pieces up into beautiful and unusual jewellery.

Every item will be sent beautifully packaged in a cotton gift bag made especially for me by a women's self help group in India.
