Tiger eye bracelet

Tiger eye owes its name to the cat's-eye effect: a band of light that slides across the bead when you turn your wrist. That effect comes from parallel fibres in the stone, and the more evenly they run, the sharper the band. That is what we sort on.

Four colours of tiger eye

Gold is the classic golden brown and by far the most ordered. Blue is grey-blue and cooler. Green is dark and muted. Red is red-brown and the warmest. There is also a matte version, in which the cat's-eye effect softens but does not disappear.

The right size

Tiger eye comes in 8mm for men and in 6mm for women. Measure your wrist and add about one and a half centimetres; the breakdown is in the size chart. Exchanging for another size costs nothing.
