Since then, the stone has receded from view, waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation. Now, its renaissance appears to have begun. Contemporary designers are exploiting the stone\u2019s earthy, wear-with-anything appeal, incorporating it into their latest collections in the form of polished beads, sleek inlays and elaborately carved pendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tiger\u2019s eye, a type of quartz, is distinguished by its chatoyant, or cat&#8217;s-eye, effect, in which a narrow luminous band appears on the stone\u2019s surface when it catches the light. The stone&#8217;s renewed popularity likely stems from its versatility. A bit like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/labradorite\/\">labradorite<\/a>, which can appear neutral in one light and warm to luminous blue-gray in another, tiger\u2019s eye transforms to harmonize with the colors around it, whether framed by bare skin or paired with other gemstones, shifting from rich bronze to soft caramel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/clip-on-earrings\/verdura-milan-dots-clip-earrings-18kt-yellow-gold-carved-tiger-eye\/id-j_28850502\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"Verdura clip earrings in 18-karat yellow gold and carved tiger's eye, 1980\" class=\"wp-image-435375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_28850502_1773968341172_bg_processed.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/louis-vuitton-tiger-eye-18k-yellow-gold-cocktail-ring-sz-5-3-4\/id-j_29414732\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"Louis Vuitton Tiger Eye 18K Yellow Gold Cocktail Ring\" class=\"wp-image-435376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/j_29414732_1778863245275_bg_processed.jpg 1429w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Left: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/clip-on-earrings\/verdura-milan-dots-clip-earrings-18kt-yellow-gold-carved-tiger-eye\/id-j_28850502\/\">Verdura clip earrings in 18-karat yellow gold and carved tiger&#8217;s eye, 1980<\/a>.

The stone fit seamlessly into the aesthetic of the 1970s. Its amber, honey and chocolate hues echoed the decade&#8217;s favored earth tones and natural materials as seen in suede jackets, tortoiseshell sunglasses and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/accessories\/scarves\/\">Herm\u00e8s scarves<\/a> patterned in mustard yellow and mahogany, not to mention the work of designers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/david-hicks\/\">David Hicks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/gabriella-crespi\/\">Gabriella Crespi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/mario-bellini\/\">Mario Bellini<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond its role in the period&#8217;s fashion, tiger\u2019s eye, associated by many with protective powers, played into the 1970s&#8217; interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/sculptures\/natural-specimens\/material\/crystal\/\">crystals<\/a>, astrology and alternative spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also emerged as a discreet alternative to diamonds and colored gems, viewed as conspicuous signals of wealth. Tiger\u2019s eye, in contrast, offered visual complexity through texture and sheen \u2014 an exemplar of \u201cquiet luxury\u201d before the phrase was coined, in the 2020s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-435250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/RR9915_master.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-435251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSb3sxwZ_master.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Left: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/link-necklaces\/david-webb-18k-yellow-gold-tiger-eye-station-pendant-bead-necklace\/id-j_25565842\/\">David Webb 18-karat yellow-gold and tiger&#8217;s eye station pendant bead necklace, 20th century<\/a>.
