Following the creation of my map jasper bracelet, I turned my attention to another premium bead that has always captivated me, tiger eye beads. My appreciation for these beads began when browsing the Thomas Sabo collection, where tiger eye stood out alongside black and turquoise as compelling options. Initially, I chose black for its versatility in pairing with various outfits, but tiger eye remained a close contender. Unfortunately, the sizing of their designs didn’t suit me, with one being too tight and another too loose. This frustration inspired my journey into crafting custom bead bracelets, aiming to provide designs that not only look stunning but also fit perfectly.
For this piece, I kept the design simple, mirroring the approach I took with the map jasper bracelet. Tiger eye beads shine uniquely in their natural ability to reflect light, creating a striking visual effect that draws attention effortlessly. As I worked on this piece, I found myself inspired by the variety of tiger eye beads available in other colours, such as green and blue hues. These options open up exciting possibilities for future collections, where I can experiment with blending these vibrant tones into designs that retain the sophistication of tiger eye while introducing new dimensions of colour.
Tiger eye beads will undoubtedly play a significant role in my future projects. Their inherent elegance and adaptability make them ideal for premium bracelets, whether kept minimalistic or integrated into more elaborate designs. My goal is to elevate these creations, exploring new ways to showcase the natural beauty of these beads while continuing to prioritise quality and craftsmanship.
CONCLUSION
The creation of my tiger eye bracelet reaffirmed why these beads hold such a special place in my collection. Their rich, reflective tones bring a natural beauty that enhances any design. This piece symbolises my commitment to both precision and creativity, as I continue to refine my process and experiment with materials that inspire me. As I expand my collection, tiger eye beads will remain a cornerstone, representing both the origins of my journey and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
