For centuries, the tiger has been a symbol of courage and strength.  This majestic feline is the largest living cat species.  A muscular and powerful body combines with a large head and paws and a long tail.  The most distinctive characteristic of the tiger is his unique coloring…  black vertical stripes on orange fur.  

Just over a hundred years ago, more than 100,000 tigers roamed Asia.  Today, just 5600 remain – they are on the verge of extinction.  The largest wild tiger population is now found in India.  

Recently, we acquired this playful little critter.  Made entirely of 18-karat yellow gold, this feline friend is absolutely adorable.  His lithe body and four paws coil around a ribbed coral ball.  His expression is captivating; a matched pair of marquise-shaped green chalcedony mark his eyes, black enamel highlights his nose while red enamel covers his tongue.  Six whiskers protrude from his chubby cheeks and a pair of fangs add a hint of danger to his otherwise frisky expression.  

A dozen round brilliant diamonds add a touch of sparkle to his countenance – these gems have a combined weight of approximately .40 carat.  The double-prong style clip is hinged with two sharp points to pierce fabric.  This sturdy clasp helps to keep this fun-loving friend securely anchored to clothing.  A coiled tail peeks from beneath the coral ball.  

If you’ve always wanted a tiger trophy, choose this Mid Century model for just $2,375.00.  He’s vivacious and versatile and in no danger of extinction.  Call for additional details.
