Tiger's eye is a type of gemstone known for its golden to red-brown colour and its chatoyant, or "cat's eye," effect. This effect is created by the reflection of light off of parallel inclusions within the stone. Tiger's eye is valued for its beauty and is often used in jewellery and decorative objects.
Some of the most popular cuts for tiger's eye include cabochons, beads, pendants, and carved figures. We stock round and oval cabochons and a few flat pieces ideal for signet rings.
In terms of affordability, tiger's eye is generally considered to be quite reasonably priced compared to some other gemstones. The cost can vary based on factors such as the size, quality, and cut of the stone. Cabochons and beads tend to be more affordable than intricately carved or custom-cut pieces. Overall, tiger's eye is often seen as a good value for its unique appearance and versatility in jewellery design.
It is also believed to have metaphysical properties, such as promoting harmony and balance.
