Where to start ?
There are so many sources of inspiration behind Tyger Glyn quite apart from the jewellery itself and its wonderful and talented creators, that it is hard to know where to begin. So this area is getting a little rethink and will follow shortly, filled with pictures and links to wonderful places ...

In the meantime since we dare not delete this page lest in doing so we crash other parts of the site, here are a few soundbites to entertain you temporarily and a few links to some of our favourite places:

Clues to Tyger Glyn's name: William Blake's 'Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright ...'
Elinor Glyn, in Hollywood in the 1920s. The novelist and early Hollywood producer, coiner of the 'It' girl phrase and fascinating great grandmother of Tyger Glyn's founder, Miranda

After the publication of her most scandalous bestseller 'Three Weeks' where the young hero was seduced by a beautiful & mysterious older woman on a tiger skin... Elinor's name was forever linked with tigers... hence the scurrillous ditty of the day:

'How would you like to sin
with Elinor Glyn on a tiger skin?
or would you prefer to err with her on some other fur?'
