Warm, honey-brown tiger's eye plays a silky band of light with every turn of the head - the chatoyancy effect characteristic of this quartz variety. In the cabochon cut, the stone reveals the full depth of its colour, and against the face and hair its warm hue flatters the complexion and pairs well with the line of the neck. The classic dangle form of the earrings stays light and clean, without unnecessary embellishment. Craftsmen have long linked tiger's eye with stability, so it was often chosen for occasions calling for composure and calm.

Each of the two tiger's eye stones is assessed before it is set - what matters is the arrangement of the bands and the clarity of colour, so with these earrings you get exceptional quality for the price. Silver and precious metals are steadily rising in price, and good stones of this quality are becoming scarcer on the market, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The setting is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925 coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching, which protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine for years. The absence of nickel and other sensitising additives means even sensitive skin can wear them without irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal.

These earrings work well for a meeting in the city: under a sand-toned trench coat, with a cool grey turtleneck, or a simple coat in a muted tone. The warm colour of the tiger's eye enlivens a neutral outfit palette and draws the eye toward the face. Their medium size and weight of 3.5 grams let you wear them from morning to evening without feeling any weight on the ear.
