These tiger's eye stud earrings combine a spare, minimalist form with the warm, lively colour of the stone. Two medium cabochon-cut tiger's eye stones shimmer in bands of golden and brown, and with every turn of the head a characteristic silky flash appears, known as the cat's eye effect. In old craft traditions this quartz variety was linked with stability and restored energy - today it is above all a stone with a bold, warm character, worn close to the face and hairline.

Only a small share of the sorted raw material makes it into the finished piece - what matters is the pattern of the bands and the depth of colour, which is why the quality of this stone doesn't come with an inflated price. Silver and good stones are getting more expensive, and tiger's eye specimens of this quality are increasingly hard to find, so this purchase makes price sense today. The earrings are made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine lasting. The French maker's mark placed on the piece attests the origin of the silver.

This pair works well in romantic looks - with a lace blouse, loose wavy hair or a dress in a soft, powdery shade, where the warm colour of the stone nicely lights up the face and offsets pastel tones. They can also be worn with a simple écru sweater, where the tiger's eye remains the main focal point near the face and neck. Their light weight of 2.7 g means the studs can be worn comfortably from morning to evening, and their medium size pairs well with both hair worn up and loose curls.
