Tiger’s eye ring, size 16
Tiger's eye ring
Wide tiger's eye band, size 16 - a stone from Brazil cut and polished as a single piece. The width works in the stone's favor: there is more surface for the bright streak of light to travel across, and more bands of brown with gold. The ring sits against the skin along its entire inner surface, so it warms up quickly. Wear it with a turtleneck or a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, as the only ring on this hand.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is a distinctive variety of quartz formed through pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The original fibers of this mineral were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. This microscopic structure is responsible for the cat's-eye effect, known as chatoyancy. The most important deposits of this opaque mineral with a silky luster are found in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Learn more in the article Tiger's Eye - Properties and History on our blog.
Care
Clean tiger's eye with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid striking hard surfaces to prevent damage to the solid band. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
