The special stones of Dusk to Dawn Jewelry



The Neptunian Beads

 

Power of the Neptunian Bead. Neptunian beads are one of the rarest and most precious gems found in the world. They originate from conch fossils known as Neptunea found at high altitudes in the Himalayan Mountains. The exterior is an appealing ivory white with brown yellow colors and finished with a sensational silky luster. Dawn to Dusk includes only the finest of these organic gems in exquisite jewelry designs which are also valuable for enhancing your life in many different ways.

The ancient people believed that organic gems had the highest magnetic field intensity which helps to eliminate disasters and prevent people from contacting evil forces. Because of their magic power if you wear organic jewels all the time they will help you in many ways.

Buddhists believe people who use Neptunian beads as a material to practice Buddhism can purify and cultivate their minds and increase their intelligence. A citation from the Chinese materia medica says, “Neptunian beads can sooth ones mind and stabilize blood pressure, cure insomnia, prevent oxidization and improve immunity.”

The ancient people could possess Neptunian beads as either nobles or as a Tibetan Buddhist. The part between the ivory white and brown yellow colors is a Tai-chi drawing and with a golden silky luster is one of the best in its class. While wearing them, we absorb their natural chi, which can help to stabilize our minds, eliminate distracting thoughts, increase intelligence, and maintain mind equilibrium.

Dusk to Dawn uses only the finest organic jewels from the Neptunea to create exceptional quality jewelry using the Neptunian bead. Our beads consist of two shapes which include the 98 faceted and the rose carved Neptunian bead.

The Skulls

 

Skull beads originated in Tibet and are used as prayer beads for Buddhist practices. Those who practice Buddhism use skull beads to meditate and reflect on the meaning of life and death. The skull symbolizes death which to followers of Buddhist practices means a new beginning.

Although the skull is a symbol of death, when skull beads are incorporated into beaded bracelets and necklaces this represents to Buddhists that life is not permanent and there are limits to human knowledge. Skull beads assist Buddhists with reflection during the chanting process. They symbolize the fact that death is inevitable and the importance of living a life filled with compassion.

The skull bead is typically carved from bone to emphasize its symbolism. It was originally made in Tibet, mostly from the bone of a yak to honor the animal that served mankind. Therefore the skull bead served as a reminder to all who wear it to continue to be of service to others.

The Dzi Beads

 

The Dzi bead dates back a few thousand years and is considered the most precious gem in Tibet. A prized possession of Tibetan culture there is an abundance of folklore and legend that surrounds the mystical powers behind Dzi beads including its ability to protect its wearer from evil forces.

Dzi is a Tibetan word which is used to describe a bead of distinctive patterns each of which has a particular meaning behind the unique designs. The patterns consist of different shapes, lines, waves, and unique symbolic patterns which are colored in black and white or brown and white. Many believe the Dzi bead is similar to wearing a protective cloak that shields you from negative elements and energies. The presence of evil forces, illness, misfortune, and even sudden death are kept away by the power of the Dzi bead.

Both the ancient Dzi beads and the new beads are made of agate which was formed inside the earth thousands of years ago. Agate has long been considered a stone that radiates positive energy. The value behind Dzi beads is placed on the time the etching was completed. The value of Dzi beads is based primarily on its quality and clarity as well as the scarcity of the design regardless of whether it is an old or newer Dzi bead.
