This is a listing for TWO (2) large faceted ethnic Tibetan ruby quartz and sterling silver beads. These ethnic Tibetan gemstone focal beads have silver repousse caps on both ends with a traditional smiling Tibetan turtle design. The gemstone color is a deep ruby red with reflective facets all around. This gorgeous bead was handmade by Tibetan artisans living in Northern India.
The turtles are clinging happily to the ends of these beautiful and joyful ethnic beads facing in opposite directions. Turtles are important spiritual creatures in many traditions and appear prominently in creation stories worldwide as they are seen to be a link between earth and the cosmos. In Tibet, turtles are associated with creativity, which may account for the smile. They are also brought into divination practices and are worshiped in the orient.
