Tigers Eye in Copper, Blue Topaz
June 2025
I cut the eye shape from copper sheet metal, used the pre-made copper bezel to wrap around the tiger’s eye from a thrift store to act as the iris. I borrowed a couple inches of chain from an old necklace and soldered on two lengths to the back of the piece. I made little to hooks that I cured with epoxy in the pre-drilled blue topaz beads, so that the chain could be attached and the beads would act as tears.
