Description

A beautifully tactile sterling silver necklace featuring a hand-set oval Tiger Iron cabochon with natural chatoyancy (the velvety light movement across the stone). The pendant sits beneath a stylised shell and floral mount, giving it a soft artisan feel with subtly botanical detailing.

The chain complements the pendant perfectly — weighty, gently oxidised, and beautifully worn-in, giving the whole piece a sense of grounding and quiet strength.

Styling Notes

A timeless piece that wears beautifully on soft knits, linen, or a deep neckline — earthy yet elegant. A wonderful grounding stone for everyday wear.
