Raw and unmistakably vintage, this tiger's eye signet ring catches the eye before a word is spoken. The cabochon reveals golden-brown bands that shift across the stone as the hand moves, producing the characteristic cat's-eye effect - silky, continuous, and near impossible to replicate. The boho aesthetic and retro silhouette of the setting make the ring sit on the finger like an object with a history, not a novelty from a display case.

The enameled silver, hand-applied over refined sterling silver 925 with a clean alloy free from sensitising metals, will not irritate even sensitive skin. A tiger's eye of this quality rarely comes up at this price - good stones are getting more expensive alongside silver. Each stone is selected for the depth of its bands and the intensity of its lustre, because those are the qualities that define the character of the whole piece. The signet is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver.

In the evening the ring works best alongside a dark shirt in silk or tightly woven cotton - the golden bands of the stone bring life to deep navy or black. Worn with a jacket and no tie, a shirt cuff pushed out from under the sleeve, a hand wearing this ring draws attention without needing a stack of accessories. Tiger's eye has traditionally been associated with stability and focus - an association that suits a piece worn with conviction.
