Tiger's eye cabochons in these earrings shimmer with bands of gold, brown and honeyed depth. This variety of quartz has mineral fibres aligned in parallel, creating a cat's eye effect - a narrow, silky glint that shifts across the stone's surface with every turn of the head. The classic stud form holds the two tiger's eye stones close to the earlobe, with no extra links or drops, keeping the earrings light. At 1.9 g, you barely notice them throughout the day.

Each of the two tiger's eye stones is chosen individually, checking the pattern of the bands under light, because only a sharp, concentrated sheen produces the cat's eye effect we value most. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so earrings of this quality and price are worth having now. The setting is refined European silver 925, plated with rhodium - a metal resistant to tarnishing, so the shine lasts longer and needs little cleaning. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so wearing the earrings all day does not irritate the skin. The French maker's mark on the metal is a guarantee of the silver's quality and origin. In old cultures tiger's eye was linked to stability and renewal, and today the same stone simply looks good by the ear.

They stand out best in a total look: a black turtleneck or a simple black top, hair swept behind the ears. Against a dark background, the golden hue of tiger's eye draws the eye and lifts the whole outfit without any extra ornament. They also work well with short hair or an updo, where the cabochon stays fully visible. A classic choice for the office, an evening out or a simple everyday look with minimal extra jewellery.
