- Gemstones may have been treated to improve their appearance or durability and may require special care.
Perfectly round tiger's eye beads are featured on 14 karat gold ear wires in these striking earrings. The beads are polished to perfection and display a mesmerizing chatoyancy, in lustrous shades of rich brown and golden yellow. Tiger's eye is a form of quartz containing crocidolite that has been replaced by silica. The result is an exotic brown and yellow gold pattern with luminous bands that change in the light, resembling the eye of a cat. Tiger's eye was worn as a form of protection in battle by the Romans and is reputed to bring courage, energy, and good fortune.
