Tiger's Eye is a member of the quartz family and one of the top-selling gemstones among jewelers and metalsmiths. Its enduring popularity stems from its striking optical phenomenon known as chatoyancy — when light reflects off the stone's fibrous internal structure, a luminous, wavy band appears across the surface, evoking the appearance of a watchful eye. Known historically as the All-Seeing Eye, Tiger's Eye displays warm, earthy tones ranging from yellowish-brown and brownish-yellow to reddish-brown. These heart-shaped cabochons are well-suited for pendants, rings, brooches, and other jewelry designs where a bold focal stone is desired.
Tiger's Eye is readily available, affordably priced, and durable enough for everyday wear, making it an excellent choice for production jewelry as well as one-of-a-kind pieces. Available in a range of heart sizes to accommodate a variety of settings and designs.
