Golden Tiger’s Eye Quartz Pendant – Handmade Silver Wire Wrapped Cabochon

A large oval Tiger’s Eye quartz cabochon with rich golden-brown banding and natural chatoyancy is the focal point of this handmade pendant. The polished stone is secured with detailed silver wire wrapping that twists upward to create a custom bail, allowing the gemstone’s color, pattern, and reflective movement to remain visible.

Tiger’s Eye is valued for its distinctive optical effect known as chatoyancy, which creates a shifting band of reflected light across the stone as it moves. Its golden, brown, and bronze tones come from its naturally fibrous internal structure, giving each cabochon an individual pattern.
