Tiger’s eye ring, size 17
Tiger's Eye Ring
One stone, one band: a size 17 tiger's eye ring, with no joints or cut edges - the entire piece is rounded and polished smooth. This Brazilian mineral has a warm brown color with a light band that moves across the ring as you move your hand, like a reflection sliding over silk. On the hand, it looks more substantial than a metal band of the same width because the stone is matte and dark wherever it does not catch the light.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz formed through pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The original fibers were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. This microscopic structure is responsible for the cat's-eye effect, or chatoyancy - a characteristic band of light that moves as the stone is rotated. The main deposits of this mineral are located in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Learn more in the article Tiger's Eye - Properties and History on our blog.
Care
Clean the tiger's eye ring with a soft, damp cloth without using strong detergents. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
