Tiger Eye
Golden bands of courage and focus.
History & Origin
Tiger Eye has been used since antiquity — Roman soldiers carried it into battle for protection and bravery. Its shimmering 'chatoyancy' comes from fine fibres within the stone that catch the light.
Meaning & Energy
Tiger Eye is the stone of confidence, willpower and clear decision-making, prized for grounding scattered energy into focused action.
How to Wear It
Its warm gold tones look striking against sterling silver and suit both ethnic and contemporary outfits. Wear it when you want a bold, polished accent.
How to Clean & Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Tiger Eye is fairly hard and resilient, but still avoid harsh chemicals and store it away from softer stones.
When to Wear It
Ideal for interviews, presentations, exams, big meetings and any day you want to feel steady and self-assured.
