The warm, honey-brown hue of tiger's eye gives this bracelet a character that's hard to miss on the wrist. The cabochon cut brings out the stone's silky sheen - in the light, a narrow, bright band moves across the surface, known as the cat's eye effect, which fades and returns with every movement of the hand. The simple, modern form of the links doesn't distract from this play of light, and the adjustable length of 18 cm with a 4 cm extension lets you fit the bracelet to your wrist without pinching. In many cultures tiger's eye has been associated with inner stability and the capacity for renewal - today it's valued above all as a stone with a distinctive, warm pattern.

We select every cabochon for its even, dense colour and clean banding, since these are what determine the strength of the cat's eye effect. Silver prices are rising, and stones with such striking patterning are becoming harder to source, so this bracelet is a sound choice at its current price. The setting is made of refined silver of European quality in sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching, which protects the surface from tarnishing and dulling, meaning the bracelet needs less everyday cleaning. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal most commonly responsible for skin irritation, so wearing it causes no skin irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the silver's origin.

This bracelet feels right at a family celebration - with an elegant dress with 3/4-length sleeves, in the warm light of a reception hall and among classic accessories, where the honey tone of the stone works well with beiges and browns in an outfit. It also looks great on a hand emerging from a shirt cuff in cooler, autumn-inspired looks. Just reveal the wrist, and the tiger's eye cabochons start working with the light.
