Antique Tibetan Tribal Necklace Conch Shell Heishi
Old Dzi Beads
Located in Milford, DE
Antique Tibetan Tribal Necklace Conch Shell Heishi & Old Dzi Beads, Featuring Bronze Ritual Pendant
A striking museum-grade Tibetan tribal necklace, hand-assembled from an exceptional selection of antique Himalayan elements. This piece combines richly patinated red discs heishi, natural conch shell spacers, and rare old Tibetan dzi-style beads—each carrying unique symbols, age-wear, and organic texture developed through generations of ceremonial use.
At its center hangs an authentic bronze ritual pendant, traditionally worn as a protective talisman by Himalayan nomadic tribes. The warm earth tones of the discs contrast beautifully with the ivory-toned conch and deep black dzi motifs, creating a necklace with profound spiritual resonance and a powerful sculptural presence.
This is not a modern reproduction—each bead shows genuine age, hand-carved irregularity, and the tactile history of an object carried through travel, trade, and devotion across Tibet and the Himalayan plateau. A dramatic wearable artifact, equally suited for collectors of ethnographic jewelry and connoisseurs of soulful statement pieces.
