Red Tigers Eye cabochons for jewellery making

Dark reddy-brown Tigers Eye cabochons, perfect for jewellers. We currently stock this stone in oval only - as it isn't the most common.

Naturally occurring red Tigers Eye does occur, and is formed by natural heating in the ground. A combination of heat and chemistry cause various colours - primarily blue, gold, and reddy-brown - sometimes uneven heating will produce a mix of colours.

However, it is also artificially heated, and it is extremely difficult to tell whether the heating is natural or artificial. It's reasonable to assume all these pieces are artificially heated to produce their even colour.

These pieces are perfect for statement pendants, rings, and earrings. The larger pieces are ideal for wire-wrapping, too.

These lovely red brown stones contrast well against silver and gold alike. They look brilliant combined with dark and black stones, too. Wire wrappers may want to think about working in copper, brass, bronze, or antiqued wire.

The cabochons have great chatoyancy, and a good mix of red and brown colours. Honestly, these are great cabochons, and excellent value for money, too.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information

How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
