A warm, golden-brown tiger's eye cabochon draws the eye with silky bands of shimmer that shift across the stone's surface with every turn of the head. This variety of quartz is known for its cat's-eye effect - streaks of light seem to travel as the viewing angle changes, growing darker or brighter, always with that golden glow. The big pendant, vintage and boho in feel, rests loosely at the neckline, while the silver setting stays in the background, leaving all the attention on the stone. In old beliefs, tiger's eye was linked with stability and inner strength, which fits well with its calm, earthy colour.

Each cabochon was examined and chosen individually, so that colour and shine stay at a high level without inflating the price. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price today looks like a sound decision. The pendant is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and harmful additives that won't irritate even sensitive skin. The maker's mark struck on the piece, registered with the French assay office, attests the metal's origin and the quality of European craftsmanship.

Day to day, this pendant pairs well with a soft, chunky-knit sweater, ideally in a muted, monochromatic palette - beige, grey or cream white - where the stone's warm colour immediately catches the eye. It also works with a loose linen shirt worn with an open collar, when the neckline is left bare. On cooler days it looks good under an open wool coat, over a simple turtleneck. At 3.6 g, the pendant wears lightly all day without weighing on the neckline.
