A tiger's eye cabochon draws out narrow bands of gold and deep brown across the surface of the stone, shifting with the slightest movement - the characteristic chatoyancy known as the cat's eye effect, silky and warm to the eye. Suspended on a silver chain, the pendant settles naturally at the neckline, and its form blends vintage with a touch of boho - no sharp lines, just the natural shape of the stone in a simple setting. In old beliefs, tiger's eye was associated with stability and the capacity for renewal, lending it a meaning that goes beyond mere beauty.

Each stone for this pendant is chosen individually for the intensity of its bands and the clarity of its structure - a piece like this is hard to replicate, and you rarely come across another with an identical pattern of colour. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price makes practical sense today. The setting is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, which matters for skin sensitive to metal contact. The piece is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, which attests the origin of the silver.

For office wear, the pendant pairs well with a smooth shirt and a blazer in muted, earthy tones - beige, khaki or deep brown bring out the colour of the stone without stealing attention from it. It also works well with a simple round-neck sweater, where the cabochon becomes the sole ornament at the neckline. It weighs 2.5 grams, so it wears lightly throughout the day, and its medium size allows the stone's colour to stand out without being overstated.
