The shimmer of tiger's eye
One of the key features of tiger's eye is chatoyancy, the long band of light that appears as the stone moves. The golden brown and darker brown bands highlight this effect, so the pendant flashes vividly with even the smallest turn. On the polished drop shape this play of light unfolds especially well.
Why this can be a good choice for you
If you are looking for a warm coloured, lively looking pendant that does not feel too dainty on men nor too masculine on women, tiger's eye is a strong middle ground. The warm tone of the stone looks good on both light and darker skin tones, and you can wear it on a pullover, shirt or knitted top.
How it pairs with your outfit
Tiger's eye pairs best with brown, cream, beige, orange, khaki, dark green and black clothing. It looks especially good on a leather jacket or a brown wool suit. Many of our customers choose it for business wear, weekend meetings, and as a birthday or name day gift as well.
Cleaning and storage
Lukewarm water and a soft cloth are enough. Avoid strong chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning and long direct sunlight. When taken off, store it in a separate compartment or a soft pouch, so the polished surface and the golden brown banding stay intact, and other jewellery does not scratch it.
What to keep in mind when ordering
Tiger's eye is a natural mineral, so the distribution of the bands, the balance of yellow and brown tones and the intensity of the shimmer differ from piece to piece. Some stones are more lively, others stay more restrained. The image is illustrative, your pendant may differ in pattern.
