How to use it
-
Wear it alone. Two colors this saturated do not want company at the same height.
-
Against a plain neckline. Green this bright fights every print it meets.
-
Gold plate is 1 micron thick — treat it as a finish, not as solid metal. Perfume and friction are what remove it.
-
Tiger eye is traditionally associated with protection and steadiness, worn as a tradition of association.
-
Store it flat and separately so nothing harder shares a box with the plating.

✨ Temple Tip — why the green works
Tiger eye is a warm, low-contrast stone — it reads brown at a distance and golden up close. Set alone in a line it goes quiet fast. The green is not decoration; it is what stops the piece from disappearing into skin tone. Remove it and you have a very expensive brown necklace.
The matching collar in the same stones is the Battlement Choker. For what tiger eye is traditionally carried for, see crystals for protection.
Questions we get asked
Is the green stone genuine?
No — the poison green stones are glass. The tiger eye is genuine. The maker is explicit about which is which.
How durable is 1 micron of gold plate?
It is a real but thin layer. Kept away from perfume, sweat, chlorine and abrasion it holds well; worn daily against skin and fabric it will wear at the contact points first.
Will it go with a silver piece?
It can, deliberately — but not at the same height. Keep the mixed metals on different layers or different limbs.
What is a step cut?
Flat parallel facets rather than the many small angles of a brilliant cut. It gives depth and saturated color instead of sparkle.
Can I wear it every day?
You can, but plating wears. If you want one piece for constant wear, the sterling silver tennis necklace in Punk Rocks will age better.
Care & wear: Store dry and away from direct light. Keep away from perfume, hairspray, chlorine and household cleaners — plating and oxidized finishes are surface treatments and will wear with contact. Clean with a soft dry cloth only. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic as supplied by the maker. An adornment and a ritual object — no outcome is promised. Stone and crystal associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.
Bright enough to be a warning. #TempleOfDesire
