This tiger's eye ring pairs a raw, golden-brown stone with the clean, minimalist line of the band. The faceted cut opens narrow bands of bright shimmer within the stone, shifting with every movement of the hand - the chatoyancy effect characteristic of this quartz variety. Before it is set, each stone is examined for colour and fibre pattern, so that only the one with the most striking shimmer is chosen. The solitaire form does not draw attention away from the stone - the slim, smooth band stays in the background.

As a solitaire and engagement ring, it works equally well as a gift for a special occasion and as an everyday piece of jewellery. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability, and in some traditions it was credited with symbolism of renewal. The band is made of pure, refined European sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine stays bright for a long time. An alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives makes it comfortable even for sensitive skin. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered at the assay office, which attests to its origin. Silver and fine coloured stones rise in price year after year, and tiger's eye with such a distinct pattern is becoming harder to find, so this reasonably priced ring is a good choice today.

In summer it pairs well with a linen dress in light beige or a cotton shirt in an ecru shade - the warm tone of the stone naturally complements such colours. It also suits simple summer accessories in gold and silver worn together on one hand. The very small size of the stone means the ring wears lightly, almost unnoticeable on the finger, while its pattern remains clearly visible up close.
