Heart-Shaped Tiger’s Eye and Gold Crossover Ring
$3,500
Created in the 1970s, this gold twin stone crossover ring is set with cabochon hearts of tiger’s eye quartz. The “chatoyant,” or cat’s eye effect, derives from horizontally-oriented internal fibers that are echoed in the deep textural striations of the ring’s gold mount. Playful in shape and style, this unusual ring represents the experimental and fun-loving spirit of the 70s.
