Solar Tigers Eye Hoops

Earthy colour on gold is where jewellery is heading this summer. The Solar Tigers Eye Hoops from Kirstin Ash are sculptural gold hoop earrings carved from tiger's eye, capped in polished gold like a sun-like halo.

Tiger's eye catches the light in bands of honey and deep brown, so the hoops shift as you move, while the gold cap gives them a crafted, finished edge. Drawing on the grounding energy of the stone and the symbolism of the sun, they're designed to evoke inner strength and personal transformation. The brass base keeps them lighter to wear, and each natural stone has its own markings. Part of SOLAR, Kirstin Ash's collection of talismans inspired by the sun as a source of light, clarity and healing.

Remove before swimming, exercising, bathing and sleeping, and avoid perfumes, lotions and chemicals, as residue can affect the finish over time.
Polish gently with a soft microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, soak briefly in mild soapy water (no more than 10 minutes, no more than once a month), then buff dry with the cloth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight, ideally in a jewellery box with the anti-tarnish strip included. Avoid storing long-term in the original box or pouch.
Gemstones: wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, water and prolonged sunlight.
