Obsidian and Tiger Eye Necklace

Glossy black beads run around most of this strand, broken by short runs of tiger eye whose golden brown bands glow between them. Every bead is round and of the same size, so the honey-colored sections read as accents set into a dark necklace.

Black obsidian and golden tiger eye

The black beads are polished to a mirror shine, while the tiger eye shows the silky band of light that moves across each bead as it turns. The contrast between the two keeps the design simple, with no pendant and no metal charm, and the necklace is worn by men and women alike. In crystal tradition, tiger eye is associated with confidence and obsidian with protection, which is why the pair is often combined; our article on the meaning of a tiger eye stone looks at these beliefs. Bead and pendant styles fill our tiger eye necklace collection.

Bead sizes and lengths

Two bead diameters are offered, 6mm and 8mm, and four lengths: 45cm, 50cm, 55cm and 60cm. The shorter lengths sit close to the base of the neck, and the longer ones fall onto the chest.
