About the Item

A finely detailed Victorian pendant modeled as the head of a roaring tiger, exquisitely crafted in rich 17k yellow gold. The sculptural carving captures lifelike detail—from the textured fur to the open mouth displaying sharp teeth—conveying both strength and artistry. A small cabochon-cut red garnet, forms the tiger’s eye, adding a vivid spark of color and intensity. Victorian jewelers often drew inspiration from the natural world, imbuing animals with symbolic meaning. The tiger, a rare motif in English jewelry, represented courage, power, and protection. This pendant embodies that symbolism, serving as both a personal talisman and a miniature work of art. Compact yet dramatic, it remains a striking example of 19th-century goldsmithing skill and the Victorian fascination with sculptural, symbolic jewels.
