Handcrafted sterling silver stud earrings set with natural Tiger's Eye.

Each silver setting begins as a small pool of molten sterling silver, which is then forged and shaped by hand. The resulting forms are intentionally organic.

Set within these irregular silver forms are rich golden Tiger's Eye gemstones. Displaying warm caramel, honey and bronze tones, the stones catch the light beautifully, revealing the silky glow that makes Tiger's Eye so distinctive.

Tiger's Eye was the gemstone that first sparked my fascination with gemstones. Drawn initially to its resemblance to the eye of a tiger, I soon became captivated by the way the stone seemed to come alive as it moved through the light. That curiosity eventually led me deeper into the world of gemstones and jewellery making.

About the Gemstones

Tiger's eye is instantly recognisable for its warm golden-brown tones and distinctive silky glow. This remarkable optical effect, known as chatoyancy (from the French word for "cat's eye"), occurs when light reflects from parallel fibres within the stone, creating a moving band of light that seems to glide across the surface. Its appearance has fascinated people for centuries, earning it the name Tiger's Eye due to its resemblance to the watchful eye of a tiger. Fine examples display rich honey, caramel and golden tones, with the shifting light effect bringing the stone to life as it moves.
