Ten tiger's eye cabochons form a rhythmic pattern around the wrist, each with the silky sheen typical of this quartz variety. As the hand moves, a narrow, golden flash appears in the stone and glides across the surface like a thread of light caught under glass - the chatoyancy effect that gives this stone its distinctive character. The bracelet's form is simple and modern, and the silver settings never draw attention away from the stones themselves. In old beliefs, tiger's eye was associated with stability and renewal, worn as an everyday talisman.

Only a fraction of the sorted raw material makes it into the finished piece - what matters is the pattern of the bands and the depth of colour, so the stones here are chosen one by one rather than in bulk. Silver and quality natural stones get more expensive year after year, so a bracelet of this price and this standard of workmanship is a sensible choice today. Refined sterling silver 925 gives a clean, uniform alloy, and the layer of rhodium on its surface protects against tarnishing and scratches - just wipe the bracelet with a soft cloth, no extra cleaning needed. Silver stamped with the French maker's mark attests the metal's origin. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so the skin beneath the bracelet is not irritated.

The bracelet measures 18 centimetres and has an adjustable 3-centimetre extension, allowing it to be fitted to wrists of different sizes. For the office, pair it with a plain shirt and a jacket in muted tones - beige, grey or navy - so the cuff reveals the stones with every movement of the hand. Outside the office, it looks good with a simple sweater and straight-cut trousers, where the golden pattern of the tiger's eye remains the main point of the look.
