This tiger's eye pendant combines a simple, minimalist form with a stone that shifts in the light. Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz with a silky sheen - with every movement, a narrow, golden band travels across the surface of the cabochon, known as the cat's eye effect. In old jewellery circles this stone was associated with stability and restoring strength, while today it is simply valued for its calm, warm colour.

The stone for this pendant was chosen for one even brown tone, so the cat's eye effect stays clear and distinct. Good stones of this quality are increasingly hard to find, and silver keeps getting more expensive, so buying at this price makes sense today. The setting is refined European silver 925 - a pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additions, which can be worn without worrying about irritation. A layer of rhodium protects the surface from tarnishing, so the metal's shine stays visible for a long time. The piece is stamped with the maker's mark establishing the origin of the item, registered with the French assay office.

The very small, delicate cabochon sits nicely at the neckline in romantic looks - under a lace blouse, a pastel sweater with an open neckline, or a light dress with a small print. The golden glow of the tiger's eye brings life to soft, powdery colours without overloading the outfit. A simple chain is all it takes to keep the stone as the main focal point at the neckline. The pendant weighs 1.6 g, so it wears lightly, even with delicate fabrics.
