Rectangular slabs of tiger iron are hand-knotted with faceted bronzite rounds and antique gold accents. Tiger iron is made up of layers of vibrant golden tiger eye, metallic grey hematite and rich, red jasper. In Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, balance comes from the combination of yellow (earth colors) and black/dark brown (water colors). Because yellow is also associated with communication and dark colors with independence--as well as strong self-discipline--tiger iron gives a strong, clear message when worn. Bronzite is thought to increase self-esteem, promote decision making, dispel negativity and enhancing creativity.

This necklace is 19 inches long and closes with a fabulous vintage clasp.
