Jade and tiger eye, strung for steadiness

Nephrite jade and tiger eye come from opposite ends of the mineral world — one a tough, felted amphibole, the other a quartz that has replaced fibres of crocidolite and kept their silky shimmer. Worn together they do something neither does alone: the jade steadies, the tiger eye brightens.

Where they come from

Our nephrite is Siberian, cut in Irkutsk; the tiger eye is South African, from the Northern Cape, where the chatoyant bands are widest. Both are hard enough (6–7 Mohs) for daily wear.

Why we pair them

The pairing dates to our first collection: a stack for grounded fortune — confidence without noise. Tiger eye carries the Confidence & Personal Power intention; jade the Abundance & Wealth one. Together they are the bracelet people buy first and re-buy for others.
