These big stud earrings pair a modern, elongated line with the warm glow of tiger's eye. Four tiger's eye stones are set in a faceted cut, so each facet catches the light from a different angle. As you turn your head, a golden-brown band glides across the surface of the stone like a narrow streak of light - this is the cat's eye effect, characteristic of this variety of quartz. At 6.0 cm long, the earrings move freely along the neckline and stand out beautifully against hair swept up into a bun or pinned to one side.

For this piece, stones were chosen for their bold, warm tone and clean banding - colour and clarity were the deciding factors. Silver and good-quality natural stones are getting more expensive, so earrings at this price are a sound choice today. The setting is pure, refined sterling silver 925 - refining leaves the metal free of nickel and other sensitising additives, which matters for earrings, where the skin can be sensitive. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the earrings need cleaning less often and keep their shine for longer. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal. In old-world craftsmanship, tiger's eye was associated with stability and inner balance.

These earrings suit relaxed, everyday looks: a soft turtleneck sweater in beige or caramel tones, where the warm colour of the stone plays off the texture of the knit. A monochrome outfit in greys or ecru lets the stone draw the eye without competing with other accessories. Loose hair or a simple bun reveals the line of the earrings and shows off their full length.
