ABOUT US
Spirited Jewelry
Steeped in the wisdom of Eastern spirituality and mystical tradition, Tigers & Dragons merges Yin and Yang symbolism into its minimalist and durable jewelry line for men and women. Our brand is a tribute to the balance of nature’s artistry the Tiger and the mystical Dragon. The Tiger, symbolizing Yin grounded, tranquil and blessed with good fortune is complemented by the Dragon's Yang energy representing strength and infinite wisdom. This fusion of opposites is a core principle interwoven throughout our creations, reflecting the harmony that exists in nature and within ourselves.
Each handmade item is crafted using carefully sourced precious metals and the highest quality materials. Our collections aim to be more than mere adornments; they are emblems of harmony and personal strength crafted to resonate with the wearer's innermost self and accompany them in every moment. With every piece we seek to craft jewellery that is not just worn but experienced.
Treat yourself or make a meaningful and everlasting gift!
Henry Cumberlege | Founder
Heritage & Philosophy
Born in London and raised in France, founder and jewelry designer Henry Cumberlege studied in Paris, where he was drawn to Eastern philosophies alongside cultivating passions for photography, art, and design. The move to Thailand in 2009 crystallized his vision. He witnessed the West's growing fascination with Eastern wisdom, became captivated with the profound beauty of Buddhist symbolism in daily life, and recognized an opportunity to imagine something different. While local gold ornate pieces were exquisite, they were designed for special occasions, beautiful to admire but impractical for everyday wear.
From the outset, Henry set out to create a jewelry stripped to its purest form, honoring Eastern tradition and designed for daily wear. In 2010, he launched Tigers & Dragons. Rooted in storytelling and cultural heritage, the brand brings together his minimalist design work alongside rare and authentic Thai amulets handcrafted and blessed by monks or ajarns.
The brand's journey is best told through its first success: a silver Buddha charm, carved from another design and reshaped over time to become a singular piece loved by many. Henry Cumberlege wore it daily as a personal talisman before deciding to produce it. It quickly became a bestseller and remains on his wrist today as a meaningful companion and a daily reminder of the values he lives by.
At the heart of Tigers & Dragons lies a conviction about belief as a powerful force. This philosophy guides every design. Henry Cumberlege creates pieces meant to be worn as talismans, embodying the faith and hope that shape our daily lives.
Today, Tigers & Dragons can be found in luxury hotels and select jewellery boutiques across Thailand, Italy, UK, and France. What began with sketches at a small workshop has grown into a journey of craftsmanship, cultural dialogue, and timeless design anchored in the conviction that jewelry can be more than decoration. It can be a daily reminder of who you are, and where you are going.
