Classic in form, this tiger's eye ring brings a warm, golden-brown depth to the hand. The faceted cut divides the stone's surface into small planes that catch the light and send it back with a silky flash - the characteristic cat's eye effect, visible with every movement of the hand. Two cubic zirconia stones set beside the tiger's eye add a discreet sparkle without taking over its leading role. This is a wedding and engagement ring, but its understated form means it also works well beyond those occasions.

Every piece of tiger's eye is hand-inspected before it goes into the ring - what matters is the alignment of the bands and the clarity of the colour, and only a stone that meets those standards is paired with rhodium-plated silver. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and those with a distinct banded pattern are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense right now. Refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, forms the base here for a layer of rhodium - a metal that keeps its bright shine for a long time and protects the surface from tarnishing. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so the ring can be worn without concern for irritation. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the origin of the metal. Tiger's eye has long been associated with stability and the restoration of strength, making it a fitting choice for the start of a shared journey.

For office wear, it pairs well with a smooth shirt and a jacket in a muted colour - grey, navy or beige bring out the stone's warm tone without unnecessary contrast. When shaking hands or writing, the ring stays discreet yet clearly noticeable up close. Its medium size and weight of 3.1 grams make it comfortable to wear all day, whether it accompanies work or a special occasion.
