Before you act, know what line you are unwilling to cross. Product Details Core material: Authentic Himalayan Dzi agate in a substantial 58 mm vertical focal stone with deep geometric etching and a weathered patina. Hardware: An 18K gold-plated brass triangular charm accented with a green focal stone. Binding: Artisan hand-woven cord engineered to support the vertical focal piece. Materials of Distinction Dzi-style agate beads belong to a long Himalayan and Tibetan bead tradition, valued for strong geometric markings, weathered surfaces, and the individuality created by pattern and wear. JAMBHALA selects a substantial Dzi agate focal stone for this necklace for its deep patterning, aged character, and commanding vertical presence. From Story to Form Xiezhi belongs to a long Chinese judicial tradition. It is remembered as a horned beast able to distinguish right from wrong, and stories connected with Gao Yao describe it identifying the guilty party in difficult disputes. Jambhala drew the necklace from Xiezhi’s defining act of discernment: before judgment or punishment, it must first distinguish one side from another. The 58 mm vertical Dzi bead establishes a strong central axis, and the triangular accent adds another directional point below it. We do not treat those geometric forms as ancient Xiezhi symbols. They are Jambhala’s way of giving the piece a clear line. Action becomes more meaningful once you know where your own boundary actually is. Read the story of XIEZHI →
