Tiger's Eye Ring

Size 14 ring, handmade in high-purity 950 silver, crafted from a beautiful polished 14 x 8 mm tiger's eye cabochon. The stone's characteristic golden-yellow color is produced by iron, and its distinctive striping is due to small fibrous inclusions. The minimalist design of the ring, with its solid silver setting, perfectly complements the curves achieved in the stone's carving.

Iron produces the golden-yellow color, and its characteristic striping is due to fibrous inclusions. The Romans used tiger's eye carved into their shields and breastplates as a protective symbol in battle. Before departing, they would give their wives a bowl of milk to drink in which they had previously placed a tiger's eye amulet. It was believed that if a woman was unfaithful during her husband's absence, she would be unable to conceive a child with her lover. In the Middle Ages, it was worn as an amulet against witchcraft, demons, and the evil eye.
