A Rare and Hard to Find Sillimanite Cats Eye Cabochon set in a Silver Dome Ring
About the Item
A Sillimanite Cats Eye Cabochon Silver Ring set in a stunning pentagon beehive dome band. Sillimanite is an extremely rare and lesser-known collector's gem and this stunning cats eye cabochon is the centerpiece of this amazing band. This is truly a "One of a Kind" piece designed by Kary Adam himself.
Chatoyance in gemstones, is known as cat's eye effect. It is one of many fascinating optical phenomenon that can occur in gemstones. It occurs when a gemstone exhibits a band of light that moves across its surface, resembling the slit eye of a cat. This effect is caused by the reflection of light from parallel fibrous or needle-like inclusions within the gemstone. The most well-known gemstone that displays chatoyance is tiger's eye, but other gemstones can also exhibit this phenomenon. The chatoyant effect can vary in intensity and color, depending on the gemstone and the angle of light. It adds a unique and captivating element to gemstones, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Originally from San Diego, California, Kary Adam lived in the “Gem Capital of the World” - Bangkok, Thailand, sourcing local gem stones and working with local Metal Smiths on his designs from 2001 until August 2015. He now lives and works in Island County Washington and makes frequent trips to Thailand where he continues to source stones and execute his custom jewelry work.

Kary Adam
Originally from San Diego, California, Kary Adam lived in the “Gem Capital of the World” - Bangkok, Thailand, sourcing local gem stones and working with local Metal Smiths on his designs from 2001 until August 2015. He now lives and works from Seattle Washington and make frequent trips to Thailand where he continues to source stones and execute most of his custom jewelry work.
His relationship with Gems and Jewelry started in 1997 when he took a trip to Asia and stopped in Bangkok for 2 weeks. While he was there, he bought a 23kt Thai gold necklace, something he had wanted since he was 14 years old and seen at a gem show in San Diego. On his first day back to work from that Asia trip, seven co-workers asked him to sell them his gold necklace. This gave him the idea that he should supply them with what they had asked for. Three months later he was back in Bangkok and bought more Thai Gold Jewelry and several loose Sapphires. This led to several years of traveling back and forth, buying and learning about gemstones and gold, designing and having jewelry made, and selling the jewelry he had made in Bangkok back in the USA and the UK. In July of 2001, he moved to Bangkok to study Gemology graduating with a degree in Gemology from the Asian Institute of Gemological Science. He also taught gemology classes for 2 years before focusing only on design and production. He continues his passion for designing Unique Beautiful Custom Jewelry and he has been doing this ever since.
