Our Hand-painted Tiger Jewelry

Does this tiger portrait jewelry have character, or what? Our painted tiger measures one inch across. These pins are unique in the world of animal jewelry! Made in Washington and Idaho by a team of three U.S. artists, these high-quality pins or larger tie tacks are exceptional. Each exquisitely detailed piece is cast in pewter and painted by hand. The finish is extremely smooth and shiny, as you can see by the highlight from the scanner. Each pin is secured by two sturdy tacks on the back so it doesn't skew sideways or turn upside down, and the finished product is not only gorgeous, but satisfyingly substantial in weight. This jewelry can be used as lapel pins, hat pins, extra large tie tacs, and more. These collectible animal pins are heirloom quality, and the details are so realistic, they are found in museum gift shops and bought by organizations in need of the perfect animal to represent their group. In fact, if you're interested in having the name of your organization put on an item, send e-mail for details. We can also get this design for you in pewter finish, bronze plate, silver plate, or 24-karat gold plate (ask about prices). See our other tiger toys and gifts. You can also find more animals, fish, birds, reptiles, insects, etc., by the same artists listed on our Hand-painted Jewelry page.

About Tigers

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the world's largest cat and the largest meat-eating land mammal. Their striped coats range in color from reddish-brown to rust-brown with a white underbelly. The stripes can be black, brown or gray. No two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. A recessive gene is the cause of the rare white or black coat color. This powerful and solitary predator once roamed widely throughout Asia. At the beginning of the last century, there were an estimated 100,000 tigers in the wild. Today, between 5,100 and 7,000 remain. Three of the eight subspecies of tiger have become extinct in the last three decades. The five remaining subspecies live in small islands of forest surrounded by a sea of humanity. Relentless poaching and habitat loss continue to threaten their existence.
