Firstly, please excuse the corny title.
I couldn't think of anything else remotely imaginative for a post relating to tigers eye!
This pendant is a piece I started some time ago and finally managed to finish.
The focal piece is a Marsha Neal ceramic cabochon and it is surrounded by tigers eye cabochons, tigers eye rounds and seed beads.
I was originally going to string the pendant on a beaded rope but decided the chain simplified the piece and drew more attention to the pendant itself.
I also beaded two tigers eye cabochons to match the cabs used in the pendant which I was originally going to turn into earrings but I decided a ring was in order instead.
I have never created a beaded cabochon ring so am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Only problem area was that I didn't have the right kind of ring base so I ended up having to sew the cab to the base which was quite difficult so will remember this for next time!
I've also learnt that a hand model I am not!

Truly lovely! I think the chain is just right and the pendant is the main focus.
Like what you have done with the ceramic focal, pretty creative.
Love the pendant...very exotic and unusual! Love the ring even more!
These are just lovely I really like Tigers Eye and adding the ceramic focal bead just sets it apart and makes it special love the ring too.
