For example, one eye beads, it may make your mind sober, calm and joyful. Double eyes beads symbolize everything in pairs, harmony couple, and can help you to establish good relationship with others. Three eyes are known as the wealth and health bead. Four eyes beads represent the four major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. They will bring the wearer wealth, luck and provide a long happy life. Twelve is the largest number of eyes on those beads. They fulfill all wishes. This is a powerful Dzi bead. It allows you to overcome any fears or obstacles in your life. One thing to remember concerning these curious little stones is this, a Dzi stone may repel things, but it also can store them. When a negativism comes at you, your stone may block it or absorb it. They can also give very positive energies to you, while absorbing a bit of your energy in the process. In other words, a bit of them goes into you and a bit of you will go into them.

Dzi beads and Dzi beads jewelry are very suitable for everyone to wear. So they are good jewelry gifts for presenting to your family members and friends. I am sure this kind of jewelry will be one of the most popular jewelry pieces.
