Damage
: Age appropriate wear. These earrings are missing one plastic backing, which does not affect wear, and which can be purchased from your local jeweler or department store for secure wear. There is also tarnish present on the sterling silver, giving the earrings a lovely antique quality that we believe is rather lovely. The price has been reduced to reflect this.

The History
This piece is made with designer craftsmanship and quality.
Tiger’s eye, a member of the quartz family, is a gorgeous chatoyant stone. This type of stone is famous for its iridescent brown waves that glow yellow as the stone is moved in the light. It was given its name due to the bright appearance of the line of light in the center of the stone. Generating its value from its gorgeous colors, polished Tigers Eye is a highly sought-after stone.
