This Tiger pendant is another standout from Elsa Peretti’s short-lived and highly collectible Chinese Zodiac collection for Tiffany & Co. It captures the essence of late-1970s Peretti: fluid, abstract, and quietly bold. Rather than showing the animals literally, she turned each sign into a sculptural shape with her signature softness and sense of movement. The Tiger’s sleek, curling outline looks both graceful and a bit fierce, which perfectly matches the spirit of the sign.

Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this pendant has the smooth, touchable finish that Peretti’s designs are known for. It’s the kind of piece you want to reach for again and again. These zodiac pendants were made in limited quantities and never brought back, so they’ve become a quiet signal among collectors. The Tiger is especially hard to find.

The Tiger is the sign for people born in 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010. It’s linked to courage, charisma, and a touch of wild energy. Whether you’re a Tiger or just drawn to the meaning or the look, this pendant feels like a small, wearable sculpture that really stands out.

This is a rare and striking Peretti collectible that you don’t see very often.
