Honey-brown, streaked through with golden bands - that is how the tiger's eye set in this distinctly retro-styled ring presents itself. This quartz variety has a silky lustre and the characteristic cat's eye effect: as you turn your hand, a band of light glides across the surface of the stone, shifting the intensity of its colour. The cabochon cut brings this out fully, while six small cubic zirconia stones add extra sparkle around the central stone. The ring's form draws on designs of the past, with the gently rounded lines typical of vintage pieces.

Every stone is assessed before it is set, checked for colour and clarity of structure - only those with a distinctive pattern and natural lustre make it into our pieces. Silver and good-quality stones are rising in price, and stones of this calibre are getting harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The setting is made of refined sterling silver 925 with a high alloy purity, coated in a layer of rhodium - this metal protects the surface from tarnishing and scratching, so the ring keeps its shine for years. An alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives means the ring can be worn without worry of skin irritation. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability and renewal, making this ring a fitting choice for an engagement or as a promise ring.

Its small size and weight of 3.6 grams mean the ring sits lightly and unobtrusively on the finger. It pairs well with a romantic look - a lace blouse, a pastel dress with a small print, or a soft sweater in a powder shade. The honey colour of the stone warms the hand and works well with light, delicate outfit colours. This is a piece for an occasion meant to be remembered.
