These Tiger Eye cabochons are meticulously cut and polished to a smooth, high dome of approximately 5mm. Measuring between 8mm and 10mm in length, these stones are renowned for their captivating golden-brown color and the intense, silky 'cat's eye' effect, or chatoyancy, that moves across the surface under light. They are ideally sized for bespoke rings, pendants, and other durable daily-wear jewelry pieces.

As a variety of quartz, Tiger Eye is a strong gemstone that is well-suited for everyday jewelry, but proper care is recommended to preserve its polish and luster.

  • Mohs Hardness: Tiger Eye has a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale, making it scratch-resistant and durable enough for daily wear.
  • Cleaning: Gently clean your Tiger Eye using lukewarm water and a soft cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn dirt. Always rinse thoroughly and dry the stone immediately after cleaning.
  • Maintenance:
    • Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the stone to harsh household chemicals, bleach, or acidic substances, as these can cause damage or discoloration.
    • Avoid Heat and Impact: Keep the stone away from extreme heat, open flames, and avoid dropping it or banging it against hard surfaces, as strong impacts can cause chipping.
    • Storage: Store Tiger Eye separately from harder objects or other gemstones to prevent scratching
