Original Message:   Dzi Beads (because this is the Bead Collector forum, after all)

In the Tibetan Jewelry II album linked to above, as well as in the photos below, there are some dzi beads being worn in saddle rings. Curious whether people think they are authentic or remakes? The resolution in the linked album's photos is not so high, so maybe nobody can see enough. But the picture below is better. Please look at the dzi beads worn in rings by the Khampa man. The bottom dzi looks old and battered, and has two chips missing across the eye. The middle one has small dents, the top one appears to have a chip missing from one end. I have no doubt that the dzi in necklaces are reproductions. But as for the Dzi beads in rings - are they antiques or reproductions... What do you think?
