Mareille Sterling Silver Necklace - Tiger's Eye

The jewelry is made from 925 silver and rhodium plated for a uniform finish and enhanced resistance to oxidation. Hypoallergenic material, suitable for daily wear, with good durability under normal usage conditions.

Tiger's Eye is a variety of quartz with a distinctive optical effect called chatoyance — the 'cat's eye' effect.

A bright band of light glides across the surface when you move the stone, like a feline's gaze.

The effect comes from fine, parallel fibers embedded in the quartz, reflecting light like strands of silk.

It formed through the gradual replacement, over time, of mineral fibers with quartz, preserving their aligned structure.

That very 'gaze' earned it the reputation as the stone 'of all eyes' — a symbol of vigilance and protection in many cultures.

The story that Roman soldiers wore it in battle for protection is a pleasant legend, but not historically proven.

There is also the blue-gray variety, called 'hawk's eye', just as hypnotic.

The most renowned specimens come from South Africa.

Its color blends golden, honey, and brown tones, with warm reflections that come alive in the light.

Associated with courage, self-confidence, and focus, tiger's eye is a stone with character, worn to make decisions and stay grounded.

With a hardness of 7, it is durable and suitable for everyday wear, requiring only moderate care.

It cleans easily with a soft cloth. This golden play of light is beautifully highlighted in 925 silver and yellow gold.
