The piece opens on the tiger eye, a golden-brown banded stone that shifts and brightens as the piece turns. Beside it, the silver-tone metal is a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver, so the piece reads in two registers at once. It takes the form of a strand that sits at the wrist, and it belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines.
The individual materials are described below, since each has a different tolerance for water, light and knocks. The tiger eye appears as a banded stone whose gold and brown lines move with the light as the piece turns. Against the skin, it is hard and takes a good polish, so it survives daily wear better than most stones. Inside the piece, the silver-tone metal is a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Handled often, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs. The textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. Over months of wear, it stays soft against the skin and holds a knot well, but a daily-worn strand will fray where it rubs a clasp.
Sizing runs across three stated ranges: 6.75–8 in, up to 8–9.5 in. Where the listed range is close to your measurement, it is worth confirming rather than guessing. The theme is strength as a quiet cue; no result is implied by the material. Slight differences in shade, inclusion and grain between pieces are inherent to the materials. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Wipe it dry and store it separately; nothing beyond avoiding long soaking is needed. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
