Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace, "Chinese Zodiac Tiger"

Jantana designs a fabulous jewelry collection inspired by the Chinese zodiac. The style of the pendant recalls China's millenary paper cutting art known as jianzhi. It is masterfully cut by hand from a sheet of brushed sterling silver symbolizing the tiger. People under this sign are said to be brave, competitive and unpredictable. Tigers love to be challenged and will accept any challenge if it means protecting a loved one or protecting their honor.

A sign under the Chinese zodiac is determined by year of birth rather than the day of birth. There are 12 signs, symbolized by animals. The particular sign rules a whole lunar year therefore it is only repeated every 60 years.
