Rescued Tiger

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Mod, Casual, Outdoorsy


Materials

Tiger Eye button, round beads and fan pendant. Beadalon beading wire and gold-filled findings.

What was your inspiration?

I am often asked to contribute my jewelry for charity silent auctions. This was made for one of those charities, a breed (of dog) rescue group. I bought the 3-piece fan pendant first and then happened to see these side-drilled button beads and knew instantly that they belonged together.

What are you most proud of?

Although I can take no credit for it, I love the naturally occurring striations of red, blue and traditional Tiger Eye in this fan pendant.

I love to use overlapping lentils and this design is really great. I wouldn't have thought to do this. Inspiring.

Thank you. I don't often see the overlapping beads but when I saw these, I remembered the pendant and knew instantly that they belonged together.
