The tiger's eye cabochon captures a silky sheen that shifts across the stone's surface with every movement of the hand, like a narrow band of light. This is the chatoyant effect - the natural play of gold and deep brown tones found only in this one variety of quartz. A simple, modern wedding and engagement ring keeps attention on the stone - the whole composition stays clear and light on the finger, ready both for the day of the proposal and the wedding itself.

For this piece we chose a stone of exceptionally pure colour - that was the deciding factor in the final selection, free of flaws and discolouration that would dull the shine. Silver and good stones get more expensive year after year, so a cabochon this well finished at this price is a genuinely sensible choice today. The rhodium plating protects the surface from tarnishing, so the ring keeps its shine for a long time and doesn't need frequent polishing. The base remains pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives that doesn't irritate the skin. The silver bears the French maker's mark, attesting the metal's origin. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability and inner balance, which makes it a popular choice of stone for this particular occasion.

In spring it pairs beautifully with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf tied at the neck - a hand wearing the ring naturally draws the eye when fixing your hair or reaching for a light-coloured bag. It works just as well with a simple sweater, when what matters is a subtle but distinct accent on the finger. The medium size of the stone and the weight of 3.9 g give it a shape that's noticeable yet not heavy to wear day to day.
