This vintage bracelet set with three tiger's eye stones catches the eye with a golden, silky sheen that shifts across the surface of the stone with every movement of the wrist. This cat's eye effect is a feature of the quartz itself - the band of light settles into a narrow, warm stripe between brown and honey yellow. The cabochon cut brings out this play of light even further, and the bracelet's substantial, clearly defined form underscores the raw, retro character of the whole piece. Craftsmen of old workshops linked tiger's eye with a symbol of stability and restored strength - it is still a popular choice for a gift today.

Only a small share of the raw material examined makes it into the bracelet - what matters is the density of the band and the purity of the colour, which narrows the choice down to truly fine specimens. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, so a stone of this class at a reasonable price is worth having in mind right now. The bracelet is made of refined European 925 silver, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching, which protects the shine from tarnishing for a long time. The piece bears the French maker's mark, guaranteeing the origin of the metal. The alloy, free of harmful additives, does not cause irritation even with long-term wear against the skin of the wrist. The bracelet measures 17 cm and has an adjustable extension of 4 cm, so you can fit it to the circumference of your wrist, and its weight of 17 g gives it a noticeably solid presence.

This substantial form pairs well with natural fabrics - a linen shirt with a rolled-up sleeve, a cotton sweater or a loose oversized jumper. A shirt cuff reveals the wrist and lets the stone play with full shine against a light, matte fabric. In the cooler months, the bracelet also looks good on the sleeve of a thick melange wool jumper. This is everyday jewellery that does not need an elegant styling to catch the eye.
