Tiger Eye Half-Oval Pendant – Gold Vermeil

Tiger Eye Half Oval Pendant – Gold Vermeil

A smooth, flat-topped half-oval of tiger eye, framed in gold. Simple, sleek, and full of swagger. Tilt it in the light and watch that golden shimmer roll across the stone like a big cat stretching in the sun.

That silky flash is called chatoyancy (from the French for "cat's eye"), and it comes from the stone's fibrous structure. Tiger eye has been treasured as a protective talisman for centuries, carried to ward off curses, ill-wishing, and the evil eye. Lore says Egyptians set it into the eyes of their deity statues for divine sight, and that Roman soldiers carried it into battle for courage. Fierce company to keep.

Tiger eye is said to balance grounded earth energy with the bright, uplifting energy of the sun. It's the stone for when you need to stop overthinking and do the thing. It's associated with courage, confidence, clear decision-making, and protection from negativity, and it's often considered a manifestation stone. It's linked to the solar plexus chakra, the seat of personal power and self-esteem, and is commonly associated with Leo and Gemini.

The tiger eye is set in gold vermeil, a thick layer of gold over solid 925 sterling silver. Gold on gold makes this one pure sunshine, with a precious-metal core.
