Formed by a natural tiger's eye, intricately carved into the head of a honey-bear. Tiger's eye is a gemstone which displays a special type of chatoyancy - a unique optical effect caused by internal reflections. When turned under light, it takes a silky appearance as if made of gold thread, mirroring the way sunlight would reflect off the dark pelt of a real bear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSurrounded by a beautifully sculpted cluster of finely worked gold scales, reminiscent of the overlapping layers of a conifer cone. The design flows seamlessly to a solid 18ct yellow gold band. A testament to exceptional craftsmanship and lapidary artistry, this ring is as technically accomplished as it is utterly charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiger's eye weight: \u003c\/strong\u003e9.5ct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiger's eye size: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 13.4mm; Width 12mm; Depth 8.6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 18ct yellow gold.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marked with\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eFrench hallmarks; eagle head (18ct gold).
