20.67 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Tiger's Eye Pair from South Africa

This matched pair of tiger eyes offered by The Natural Gemstone Company showcases rich golden brown chatoyancy and a classic cabochon silhouette, perfect for a variety of fine jewelry designs. The stones weigh 10.25 carats and 10.42 carats respectively, with dimensions of 18.07 x 13.08 x 6.24 mm and 18.07 x 13.06 x 6.36 mm, both cut as oval cabochons and exhibiting an opaque clarity grade evaluated at eye level. Color intensity is not applicable for these opaque specimens, and the polish is excellent, producing a smooth reflective surface and a well defined cat eye band that crosses each gem. There has been no enhancement to these stones, and their origin is South Africa, a region known for producing tiger eyes with deep, consistent color and strong chatoyant effects. The pairing is visually harmonious, with nearly identical dimensions and weight, making them especially suitable for matched earrings, a twin pendant arrangement, or side by side in a bespoke ring setting.

As a knowledgeable gem specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend settings that emphasize the cat eye band, such as simple bezel mounts in yellow gold to enhance the warm tones, or low profile prong or bezel designs in sterling silver for a modern contrast. These stones respond beautifully to designs that allow light to travel across their surface, so horizontal orientations that align the chatoyant line with the eye level are particularly striking. Care is straightforward, use a soft cloth and mild soap solution for occasional cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and refrain from ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the unique surface and polish. These tiger eyes are offered as natural, untreated gems ready for setting into heirloom quality pieces, and we are happy to assist with custom design ideas, matching certifications, or close up photos upon request. If you are seeking a warm, versatile matched pair with strong chatoyancy and excellent polish, this South African tiger eye pair from The Natural Gemstone Company makes a distinctive and wearable choice.
