Tiger's Eye Pendant

This 51 x 27 mm pendant is handcrafted in high-purity 950 silver. It features a beautifully polished, oval-shaped tiger's eye cabochon measuring 29 x 21 mm. The stone's characteristic golden-yellow color is due to iron inclusions, and its distinctive striping is caused by small fibrous inclusions. The stone is set in a silver box with a bezel clasp and surrounded by small silver beads.

Iron produces the golden-yellow color, and its characteristic striping is due to fibrous inclusions. The Romans used tiger's eye carved into their shields and breastplates as a protective symbol in battle. Before departing, they would give their wives a bowl of milk to drink in which they had previously placed a tiger's eye amulet. It was believed that if a woman was unfaithful during her husband's absence, she would be unable to conceive a child with her lover. In the Middle Ages, it was worn as an amulet against witchcraft, demons, and the evil eye.
