Silver Tiger Pendant

Half a tiger's face looks out from this rectangular silver tag, one eye fixed and alert, its fur engraved in sharp, layered strokes that break into points along the cheek and the jaw. The face fills one side of the front and stops at the edge of the tag, as if the cat were stepping out of view.

A fine crosshatch pattern covers the rest of the front and the whole back, which makes the smooth, bright fur of the tiger stand out. The deepest lines are darkened, giving the face its depth, and the engraving is 0.3mm deep. The pendant hangs from a large rounded bail polished to a mirror finish. In the Chinese zodiac the tiger is the third animal, traditionally linked with courage, and our article on the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac lists its years. Other designs are gathered in our tiger pendant collection.

The pendant is made of 999 silver, and the back is stamped S999. It comes in two sizes, 20x40mm and 25x50mm, measured as width by height.
