Tiger Eye Bead Necklace

Round beads of tiger eye, honey gold to deep brown with a silky shimmer that moves as they turn, make up most of this necklace. Every few beads a matte, porous black bead, sometimes two side by side, breaks the line, set off by thin silver-tone spacer rings, and a single engraved silver-tone bead sits at the center front.

A Greek key clasp and a carved center bead

Two metal details set this piece apart from a plain strand. The toggle clasp closes with a round ring engraved with a Greek key pattern, and the center bead is carved with a leaf-like motif that catches the light against the brown and black stones. Worn close to the base of the neck, it sits well over a white tee or an open shirt collar. Tiger eye has long been linked with courage and focus in crystal traditions, a belief traced in our article on the meaning of a tiger eye stone. More strands and pendants are in our tiger eye necklace collection.

Size and details

The tiger eye beads measure 8mm. The necklace comes in two lengths, 45cm or 50cm, and fastens with the silver-tone toggle clasp. Each bead has its own pattern of bands, so no two necklaces look exactly alike.
