Tiger Ring
A tiger ring puts the animal where you see it most: on your own hand. The rings in this collection carry the tiger in many forms, from a whole sculpted head with every stripe cut into the metal to a pair of tigers wrapped around the finger, a tiger facing down a snake, or a small face pressed into a flat band. They come in gold tones, silver tones and darker finishes, from easy everyday pieces to rings nobody will miss.
What makes a tiger ring stand out
Most of the designs are built around the head. The Wise Tiger Head Ring is the clearest example: the whole top of the ring is the tiger's face, ears raised, with deep fur lines and a calm, level stare. Other rings tell a small story. The Tiger and Snake Ring sets a gold tiger and a silver snake face to face across the top, the tiger with a red eye and the snake coiling down around the band. The Double Headed Tiger Ring wraps two tigers around the finger so that their heads meet at the front.
Some pieces lean toward the classic signet. The Royalty Gold Tiger Signet Ring is styled like a class ring, with a raised tiger crest over a faceted stone in green or black, and the Gold Tiger Ring with Ruby Eyes frames a tiger head with red stones for eyes, black enamel triangles and a border of small clear stones. At the quieter end of the range, the Feng Shui Tiger Ring keeps things simple: a tiger face embossed into a matte gold-tone band.
Details worth a closer look
Much of the character in these rings comes from contrast. On the Wise Tiger Head Ring and the Double Headed Tiger Ring, the recesses are darkened so that the stripes and the fur stand out against the polished high points, which is why the same design can look quite different from one angle to the next. Stones work as accents rather than centerpieces: red eyes on a gold face, a green or black table under a signet crest. The two-tone designs use the change from gold to silver to separate one animal from the other.
Choosing a tiger ring: finish, size and fit
Many designs come in more than one finish, listed in the options on each ring. Depending on the piece you will find gold, silver, black or steel tones, and a few come in colors such as blue, green or red. Gold tones look warm and bold, while silver and steel tones are cooler and sit easily next to a watch or other silver-tone jewelry.
Sizes across the collection run from 6 to 14, and several designs offer half sizes. Our ring size chart lists every size with its finger circumference in millimeters and shows how to measure with a piece of string, which takes about a minute. A few rings come in a single adjustable size instead.
Tiger rings for men and for women
Heavier sculpted heads and signet styles make the boldest men's tiger rings, with a wide band and plenty of presence on the hand; the Wise Tiger Head Ring and the Royalty Gold Tiger Signet Ring both have that weight. Slimmer bands, smaller faces and two-tone designs give a lighter look and stack easily with other rings, and the range also includes designs made with a woman's hand in mind, such as the Silver Tiger Ring Design for Woman.
Wear it with the rest of the set
A ring rarely travels alone. A tiger pendant repeats the motif at the neckline, our tiger earrings bring it up toward the face, and a tiger watch carries the theme to the wrist. All of them sit together in our wider tiger jewelry collection, alongside bracelets and necklaces.
Tiger motif or tiger eye stone?
The names are close, but they describe two different things. The rings on this page are mostly about the animal: its head, its claws, its stripes. Tiger eye is a gemstone, a golden-brown quartz with a silky band of light that moves as the stone turns. If that stone is what you are after, our tiger eye ring collection gathers the rings set with it, from carved signets to small owls. You will also find a few tiger eye rings in this collection, for anyone who wants to compare both looks side by side.
What a tiger ring has long meant
The tiger has stood for courage and strength in many cultures. In China it is one of the twelve animals of the zodiac, and the White Tiger is one of the Four Symbols of Chinese astronomy, the guardian of the West. For plenty of people a tiger ring is a reminder of those qualities, or a nod to being born in a Year of the Tiger, and designs such as the Feng Shui Tiger Ring take their name from that tradition.

Gold, silver or both
Two-tone pieces like the Tiger and Snake Ring show how well gold and silver can sit together on one ring. Our article on whether you can wear gold and silver rings together goes into the details. If you would rather start from a short list, our pick of the top 10 tiger rings is a good place to begin.
Tiger ring questions
Which tiger rings are adjustable?
The Double Headed Tiger Ring and the Divine Tiger Head Ring Silver come in a single adjustable size, so there is no size to choose. Most other designs are sold in numbered sizes.
Do the rings come in more than one color?
Some do. The Wise Tiger Head Ring is offered in gold or silver, and the Royalty Gold Tiger Signet Ring with a green or a black stone. The available finishes are listed on each product page.
