The Tibetans sometimes applied gold or silver caps to the ends of valuable ancient stone beads such as etched carnelians, dZi and banded agates to conceal damage or reinforce fragile beads. This style has been copied in some vintage and contemporary silver-capped beads from Nepal. These  were made 50+ years ago and are much higher quality and have more character than the ones mass-produced today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ea-Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67901308108873,"sku":"j-ervs913","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2791\/8400\/files\/ervs913.jpg?v=1794616621","url":"https:\/\/www.earthlyadornments.com\/products\/earrings-of-old-tibetan-agate-beads-with-silver-repousse-caps-ervs913","provider":"Earthly Adornments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
