Gen Z and rings have long been a match made in heaven. Whether they’re stacking, decorating each finger, or opting for bolder, statement rings, Gen-Z’s outlook on jewellery tends to be pretty ring-centric.
When Tyger By The Tail emerged in January 2021, their personalizable, unisex, carbon-conscious, Insta-rings immediately ticked all of the Gen-Z must-have boxes.
Several months later, the gold and silver plated jewellery started making appearances across the feeds of all the most in-the-know Gen Zers.
On the brand’s own page, swathes of girls wrap their bejewelled hands around lattes, Monster drinks, and G&T pre-mixed cans. Boys in hoodies look away from the camera, their decked-out knuckles taking centre stage. Couples swap personalised rings spelling out each others’ names and stare, doe-eyed, into the camera. All this, in-line with the vision of experimental jewellery designer Amelia Heard and her team.

The team produces all of its jewellery in the UK. Their “slow fashion” approach allows for personalisation and their material selection makes for good-quality, durable pieces, and signals a move away from plastic-based products. What more could you ask for?
Tyger fans vary from London’s fashion-conscious teens to prolific influencers. So, it doesn’t matter if you’re Romeo Beckham or a student sporting a personalised ring while clutching a couple cans of Guinness. If you wear the rings, it seems, you’re a Tyger.
You can shop the rings via their website. And make sure to stay tuned for more information on their latest customised drop, releasing on June 13th!
