This bracelet with ten tiger's eye stones catches the eye with its play of golden and brown bands, which rearrange themselves with every movement of the hand. Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz known for its silky sheen and chatoyant effect - streaks of light shift across the stone's surface as the hand changes position. The cabochon cut brings out this effect most fully, since the smooth, domed surface concentrates the light into a single band. The bracelet's modern form doesn't overwhelm the wrist - the ten stones are set in a simple, regular rhythm.

Each stone is assessed for the colour and clarity of its bands before it is set - which is why quality stays high at a reasonable price. Good stones are becoming harder to find, since their availability is limited by nature itself, and silver and other precious metals are rising in price. The setting is refined European sterling silver 925, additionally coated with rhodium - this metal is hard and scratch-resistant, so the bracelet's shine doesn't dull over time. The alloy contains no allergenic additives, so the bracelet can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, which attests to its origin. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability - a fitting association for jewelry worn every day.

The bracelet looks good peeking out from under an oversized sweater cuff, when the sleeve only partially reveals the wrist. Weekend outfits in calm tones - beige, khaki, warm grey - pair well with the stone's golden hue. You can add a simple scarf draped over the shoulders, and the bracelet will still remain the main accent on the hand. A length of 23 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you fit the bracelet to wrists of different widths.
