About the Item

A pair of French tiger's eye earrings, made of 18k gold with tiger’s eye gemstones and diamonds. This vintage pair of French earrings offers a rich, earthy palette and a layered floral design. Each earring features eight oval sliced tiger’s eyes arranged like petals. The gold bezels are edged with a braided texture. Between petals and at the center of each flower sit small round diamonds. The overall design is three-dimensional, with the petals slightly tilted and layered to create a sense of movement. These earrings have a presence without being overly showy. The combination of polished tiger’s eye, diamonds, and detailed gold work creates a piece with distinct beauty and character. About tiger’s eye jewelry Tiger’s eye is a semi-precious stone from the chalcedony family. Hence the name, the gem has a chatoyancy effect: while cut as a cabochon and polished, it shows a vertical reflection of light. This fascinating shimmer is caused by aligned intergrown inclusions in the stone. The color of the tiger's eye varies from golden yellow to dark and even reddish brown. It’s famous for its amazing luster and warm, sunny appearance. Being a variety of macrocrystalline quartz. It begins its life as a mineral crocidolite. Over time quartz gets embedded between the crocidolite fibers. Eventually it takes all the space while the tissue shape remains the same. Due to iron oxide appearing during that replacement process, the color of the stone becomes golden brown. Being associated with the king of the jungle, the rock itself symbolizes inner strength and confidence. In Rome warriors wore tiger’s eye jewelry for protection during the fights. Today the tiger's eye is considered as a protective stone. Ancient Egyptians believed that the band of light reflected by the gem was the rays of the sun god. That god was embodied by the tiger due to the striped look and color of the stone. According to the legend, the gem accumulated the power of the sun which provided strength and vital energy to a wearer. All these beliefs brought popularity to the tiger’s eye jewelry among Egyptian aristocrats. Archaeologists keep finding tiger’s eye pieces in the tombs of the pharaohs until nowadays.
