How to use it
-
Wear it as the loudest thing you have on. A row of pointed stones is not a supporting piece.
-
Warm gold against warm stones. The 18k setting is doing tonal work here — it is why the earth tones read rich rather than muddy.
-
Keep the neckline plain. The silhouette is the point and a print will eat it.
-
Watch the tips. Sharp caps catch on knitwear and fine weave — wear it over structured fabric.
-
Store it flat so the thin cable chains do not knot between the drops.

✨ Temple Tip — Angora is the colorway that goes with your actual wardrobe
Tiger eye, smoky quartz and labradorite are earth tones with a mineral sheen — they sit against brown, grey, cream and black without a fight. Of the five colorways in this collection, Angora is the one that survives contact with the clothes most people already own.
Questions we get asked
Are the stones genuine?
The tiger eye, smoky quartz and labradorite are genuine. The muted yellow and violet accents are glass, and the maker states this plainly.
Why domed instead of faceted?
A dome pools color across a curved surface rather than throwing light back in points. It reads deeper and quieter — closer to a stone, further from a gem.
Does labradorite really flash like that?
Yes — labradorescence is a genuine optical property of the stone, caused by light refracting between internal layers. It appears at some angles and vanishes at others.
Can I layer it?
It works as the loudest piece in a stack, with plain chain above and below. Do not pair it with a second stone-heavy necklace.
Do the stones carry a traditional meaning?
Tiger eye is traditionally associated with steadiness and protection, smoky quartz with grounding, labradorite with transition. Traditions of association, worn as such — not claims of effect.
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.
The same saber tooth in oxidized silver cools the tiger eye down considerably — worth comparing before you commit to gold. What that stone has traditionally been carried for is set out in Crystals for Protection. More statement lengths in Necklaces & Malas.
Teeth, worn where they can be seen. #TempleOfDesire
