Peaceful Tiger Pendant

A tiger rests at the end of the day inside this teardrop pendant. It lies along a rock with one heavy paw hanging over the edge, head turned to the side, while the sky behind it fades from pink to soft purple. The picture sits under a clear dome in a frame shaped like a drop of water, hung from a round loop.

A calm tiger in a drop of water

Most tiger jewelry shows the animal roaring; this one shows it at ease, eyes calm and body stretched out. The domed cover gives the scene a little depth and catches the light as the pendant moves. In the Chinese zodiac the tiger is traditionally linked with courage, and our guide on what year is the tiger in the Chinese zodiac lists the years it rules. Other designs, from moon shapes to tiger heads, are gathered in our tiger pendant collection.

Colors, metal and chain

The frame comes in two finishes: Bronze, an antique gold-brown tone with a matching link chain, and Silver, a bright silver tone. Both are made of zinc alloy, with a plain flat back. The chain measures 30cm, a short length that sits close to the neck.
