Every piece is hand-carved from raw stone. Veining, color, translucency — no two are identical. The piece you receive is the only one of its kind.

— the origin
carved from a single stone.
Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.
We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.

This minimalist Tiger’s Eye necklace features a hand-set cabochon stone framed in a sculptural organic bezel; warm golden-brown hues that shift with the light, symbolizing protection, clarity, and inner strength.
Suspended from a delicate 14k gold-filled chain, this piece is effortless, refined, and designed for daily wear. Choose between an 18-inch or 20-inch chain for your ideal fit.
Perfect for gifting, layering, or wearing as a meaningful talisman close to the heart.

Details
• Natural Tiger’s Eye gemstone
• Pendant size: approx. 21 × 19 mm
• 14k gold-filled on brass
• Choose your chain: 18” or 20”
• Lightweight, dainty, and everyday-friendly
• Hypoallergenic (nickel-free)
To keep your jewelry shining beautifully:
• Avoid chemical cleaners, perfume, excessive sweat, and contact with seawater or pool water. Salt and chlorine can discolor gold-filled surfaces and erode gemstone polish.
• Lotions, sprays, and oils can create buildup, making jewelry appear dull.
• After wearing, gently wipe your piece with a soft, damp cloth—especially around the edges and details.
• Keep your jewelry dry whenever possible. Moisture is the main cause of tarnishing.
• Store pieces separately to prevent scratching. A small Ziploc or airtight pouch with the air pressed out helps prevent oxidation.

Onyx is a natural stone — beautiful, but not bulletproof. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents, citrus, and prolonged direct sunlight. Each piece is sealed with food-grade beeswax; refresh every 6 to 12 months by warming a little wax into the surface and buffing.
Free ground shipping on every order in the U.S. Hand-packed in San Diego using recyclable, plastic-free materials, usually shipped within 2–3 business days.
30-day returns on unused, undamaged pieces. Email us at hello@saeadesigns.com and we will send a return label.
SAÉA is a small studio in San Diego, California. Each piece begins as raw onyx in the mountains of Balochistan, hand-carved by artisans, then finished, photographed, and shipped from a quiet space on the West Coast.
