Custom Gold Tiger Tooth Chain
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’d like a jeweller who can turn a clear idea into a striking, wearable piece: an 18-inch chain in solid gold whose links resemble the sharp, tapered shape of tiger teeth. Each “tooth” should carry a subtle red tint or enamel wash so, at a glance, the chain flashes the warm stripe of a big cat’s bite rather than a flat yellow glow.
What I have in mind
• Material: gold throughout—no plating or mixed metals.
• Length: exactly 18 inches end to end.
• Clasp: I haven’t fixed on one yet; feel free to recommend a lobster, spring-ring, or another secure option that complements the design without interrupting the tooth pattern.
Deliverables
1. Concept sketches (hand-drawn or digital) showing the tooth profile, spacing, and how the red colouring will be applied.
2. A production-ready CAD file (Rhino, MatrixGold, or comparable format) plus STL for CAM.
3. A brief note on finishing techniques and any enamel or heat-treat steps needed to achieve the red hue.
4. If you offer in-house casting and finishing, a quotation for the finished piece would be welcome, though the design files alone will meet the project brief.
The design must be clean and manufacturable; tooth points shouldn’t snag fabric, but the silhouette should still read unmistakably as tiger fangs when viewed from a short distance. I’ll review initial sketches before we move into CAD, and I’m happy to provide prompt feedback so we stay on schedule.
