About this Tigers Eye bracelet

Roman soldiers carried tiger's eye into battle for clarity and courage; the stone has held the same traditional association with self-assurance ever since. The bands of gold and brown shift in the light as you move — a small physical reminder of your own footing during a hard meeting, a presentation, or an interview.

It moves with the ambitious — entrepreneurs in Ebene between investor calls, candidates preparing for a job change, founders walking into their first real pitch. Each bracelet is handcrafted in our Pointe aux Sables atelier.

History

Roman soldiers traditionally carried tiger's eye into battle, believing the stone offered protection and strength during combat. In ancient Egypt, the distinctive optical effect of the mineral was associated with the all-seeing eyes of revered deities, and it was often utilised in the eyes of deity statues to represent divine vision. The stone's name is a direct reference to its chatoyancy, a visual phenomenon reflecting light in a band that strongly resembles the slit pupil of a feline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is daily wear OK for tiger's eye?

Yes, it's built for daily wear. The stones are hard enough for everyday life — driving, typing, school runs. Take the bracelet off before showering or swimming, though: chlorine and soap break down the elastic core and the elastic faster than wear itself ever will.

How do I cleanse tiger's eye in our climate?

No water. Mauritian humidity does enough damage to threading materials on its own — soaking accelerates it. Wipe the golden-brown beads with a dry, lint-free cloth. For energetic cleansing, leave the bracelet on a soft moonlight overnight, or place it on a small dish of dry sea salt (not in the salt — on it).

Which bead size suits a corporate dress code?

The 10mm beads make a statement — better for casual, creative, or weekend wear. If you switch between corporate and casual through the week, two bracelets in different sizes is a common ask: design both at once and we'll match the cord and findings so they stack cleanly.

Will the any metal findings tarnish over time?

Sterling silver oxidises naturally — it's what real silver does in humid air and against skin oils. It never flakes or rusts, the way plated alloys do. A few seconds with a silver polishing cloth brings it back. We also re-polish any bracelet bought from us, free, when you bring it in for cleaning.
