Modern in form and warm in colour, this tiger's eye solitaire ring pairs a simple setting with a stone of striking character. The cabochon cut brings out the silky sheen of this quartz variety and reveals the cat's eye effect - a band of brighter light that shifts across the surface with every movement of the hand. Brown deepens into a richer honey tone, without sharp contrasts, giving the stone a calm, muted character. This form works equally well as a solitaire ring or as an engagement proposal - a single stone in a simple setting suits both roles.

We select every stone for this design individually, examining the grain pattern and the intensity of the sheen before it reaches the jeweller's hands. Silver and good stones are rising in price, and those with a distinct grain and a clean surface are becoming harder to find, which is why buying at this price makes sense today. The setting is made from refined European 925 silver, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. A layer of rhodium protects the metal from tarnishing and scratches, so the ring keeps its shine for years. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal.

The ring works well in the city - under a trench coat, with a turtleneck, and in outfits built around grey or beige, where the stone's warm colour naturally draws the eye. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability and renewal, which makes it a popular choice for an engagement gift. Its small size and weight of 2.9 grams mean the ring sits lightly on the finger and doesn't get in the way of everyday hand movements.
