Tiger’s eye ring, size 18
Tiger's Eye Ring
Size 18: a tiger's eye ring from Brazil, cut from a single block and polished. Bands of brown and gold run around the entire circumference, and across them - depending on the light - a bright, moving streak appears; as the hand moves, it travels from the side to the top of the ring and back again. The surface is smooth as glass and cool for the first few seconds. The ring has no elements that could snag on knitwear.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is an opaque variety of quartz formed through a process of pseudomorphism after fibrous crocidolite. The original mineral fibers were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. This structure is responsible for the cat's-eye effect, or chatoyancy - a silky band of light that moves as the stone is rotated. 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
Clean the tiger's eye ring with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid strong detergents and impacts against hard surfaces. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
