Photo Gift Online Store with
Designer Collection Jewelry
- Tiger Cat Jewelry Store -

I've been designing jewelry in South Florida since the late 80's and was fortunate enough to have my pieces in some of the elite boutiques on Worth Avenue (the Rodeo Drive of Palm Beach), and stores like Macy's.

When I discovered the computer in the 90's I became a graphic artist, desktop publisher and software designer, but never lost my love for jewelry design.

So what does an animal loving, jewelry designing, computer geek do? How about a personalized pet gift for animal lover people and pet owners? I developed a new and unique mixed media method using the computer. Real photographs of animals are miniaturized and turned into Diachroic cameo cabochons. Diachroic is when one color changes to another when intercepting waves of light. Cameos are profiles or silhouettes in relief.

The stone settings in Tiger Cat Jewelry pieces have a transparent photo with the background removed. The stone is treated with a special multi coating that seals in the photo transparency so that it becomes part of the stone. White areas of the original picture allow the stone's texture to show through. Stones in the gold and copper settings have a mother of pearl / opal sheen, while the stones in the silver settings have a ivory /opal glow. When you tilt them in different directions you can see the colors change to metallics. These ARE NOT white background, decoupaged photos.

Cabochon photo settings are combined with beads, crystals, metals, gem stones and pendant frames to create custom made beaded jewelry. Many styles have matching earrings to complement them. Buy alone or together to make a lovely unique photo gift set for your favorite animal gift lover.

Included in the Animal Lovers Jewelry line are favorite animals of the air, sea, jungle and plains. The top favorite cat and dog breeds, horses, butterflies, dolphins, turtles, jungle animals such as lions, tigers and elephants, all time favorites like the pandas and penguins, plus many more.

I love flowers and spiritual things and so I have included jewelry to feature these subjects. I believe I make one of the most beautiful "Serenity Prayer" pins.

In addition to the Animal Lovers designer collection jewelry I also custom design unique photo gift jewelry with your own pet's picture on it. A wonderful memorial honoring a pet that is no longer with us, but also a fun way to show off that precious little darling that hogs the bed and chews up or scratches your "stuff". The same pet photo can be used in a variety of custom personalized pet gift items too. There is no better gift for animal lover or pet owners on any holiday, or "just because", than a Tiger Cat customized jewelry unique photo gift or gem stone jewelry one of a kind brooch.

I also have a variety of limited offers and one of kind pieces and close out items on my eBay store. For me it's fun to continually experiment with new design concepts and many are tested for popularity with the public on my eBay site and are quite a bargain. I make each piece as though it were going to be mine forever. Pop on over and see what's available.

I am dedicated to your delight. I want you to have something that is as special to you when you hold it in your hands as it was to me when I held it in mine as I made it.

Thank you many times for your visits to my site, your suggestions and your orders. I wish you all blessings and prosperity.
