Tiger’s eye ring, size 17
Tiger's eye ring
Size 17, made entirely of tiger's eye: the band and “stone” are one polished piece of stone from Brazil, with no joins. Brown transitions into golden bands, while a characteristic streak moves across the surface - the cat's-eye effect caused by the parallel arrangement of the mineral's fibres. The ring is solid inside, so it sits securely on the finger and does not rotate as easily as thin bands.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is an opaque variety of quartz formed through a process of pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The original mineral fibres were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. This structure is responsible for chatoyancy, or the cat's-eye effect, visible as a bright streak. The main deposits of this mineral are located in South Africa, Australia and Brazil. Find out more in the article Tiger's eye - properties and history on our blog.
Care
A solid tiger's eye ring only needs to be wiped with a damp, soft cloth, avoiding contact with strong chemicals. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewellery box.
