Buddhist Tiger Eye Bracelet

A small Buddha head sits at the center of this bracelet, eyes lowered and hair worked as tiny raised dots, between two polished tiger eye beads. Two thin metal rondelles stand on each side of it, and the rest of the round strand is all tiger eye, a deep red in one version and a honey yellow in another, with a soft band of light shifting across each bead.

A Buddha bead in gold or silver tone

The Buddha head and the four rondelles come in a gold tone or a silver tone, and the choice changes the mood of the piece: gold warms the beads, silver gives them a cooler, sharper edge. In Buddhist tradition the image of the Buddha stands for calm and inner balance, which is why it often appears on bead bracelets worn every day. Our guide to the best hand to wear a tiger eye bracelet looks at the customs around wearing one, and more designs fill our tiger eye bracelet collection.
