This tiger's eye pendant sets the stone's warm golden-brown colour against the cool shine of rhodium-plated silver. The cabochon cut shows off a silky band of light that shifts across the surface of the stone with every turn of the head - the chatoyancy effect typical of this quartz variety. In older cultures tiger's eye was associated with stability and inner balance, which lends this pendant a touch of symbolic depth without being overstated. The simple setting keeps the focus on the stone, so all of its light play stays centre stage.

Every stone is assessed before it goes into the setting, checking the banding pattern and intensity of shine, so only stones with a clear, well-defined pattern make it into our pieces. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year on year, and finding tiger's eye with such a pronounced chatoyancy effect is becoming harder, so this pendant at its current price is a sensible choice to make now. The pendant is made from pure, refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, so it does not cause allergies or skin irritation. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, which helps the silver keep its shine for a long time and resist tarnishing. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to its origin.

This pendant suits relaxed, layered looks with a boho spirit. Wear it with a simple oversized sweater in oatmeal or grey, add a wool scarf loosely wrapped around the neck - the stone will peek out at the neckline and draw the eye with its warm tone. It also looks good with a linen shirt and a layered necklace, where it adds a calm, earthy accent of colour. At 2.3 g, it wears lightly all day, from morning through to an evening out.
