This tiger's eye pendant plays with a silky sheen that drifts across the stone's surface like a narrow band of light in brown and honey tones. The cabochon cut brings out this cat's-eye effect at its fullest - the stronger the light, the more clearly you can see the movement across the surface. The pendant's big form and loose, irregular silhouette fit right into a boho mood with a touch of vintage, sitting close to the neckline and throat.

Only a small part of the raw material examined makes it into this pendant - what matters is the purity of colour and the sharpness of the banding, so the stone is natural and carefully selected, yet the price stays reasonable. The availability of quality stones is limited by nature itself, and silver and precious metals keep rising in price, so a purchase like this makes price sense today. Rhodium plating protects the silver from tarnishing and losing its shine, and the refined silver, of European quality and sterling silver 925 fineness, contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so the pendant can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal. In old traditions, tiger's eye was associated with stability and inner balance - an association that suits a gift well.

For everyday wear it pairs beautifully with an oversized sweater in warm grey or beige and a shawl draped over the shoulders - calm, muted layers give the stone room to play with light. It also works with a loose linen shirt and jeans, where the brown bands of the tiger's eye stand out naturally against an open neckline. The big size and loose form mean it's the stone itself that draws the eye, even in the simplest weekend outfit.
