4.90 Ct. Tiger's Eye from India

Presenting a singular treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful golden brown tiger's eye of refined presence, weighing 4.90 carat. This oval shaped gem measures 11.64 x 9.21 x 4.76 mm, and has been fashioned in a tablet cut to showcase its silky chatoyant glow. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is opaque, allowing its internal fibrous structure to create the deep, liquid bands that define tiger's eye. Color intensity is not applicable, as the gem reveals a warm spectrum of honeyed gold and cocoa brown in varying light, and the surface is finished to an excellent polish that allows the shimmering line of light to glide across the stone. There has been no enhancement, the gem is entirely natural, and its origin is the storied mineral belts of India, a provenance that speaks to both quality and heritage.

Viewed under the hand or in ambient light, this tiger's eye transforms subtle movement into spectacle. The tablet cut preserves a generous face while maintaining the stone's inherent depth, inviting the eye to travel along the parallel chatoyant fibers that produce a luminous band like a captive sunrise. The golden brown tones are neither loud nor timid, they carry authority with restraint, a chromatic balance that reads as both aristocratic and elemental. The excellent polish ensures every caress of light produces a mirror like reflection that frames the chatoyancy, reinforcing the gem's tactile luxury. For connoisseurs who value understated drama, this gem offers that rare combination of earthy warmth and polished sophistication, a gemstone that commands attention without demanding it.

As a statement piece, this 4.90 carat tiger's eye is versatile in application and distinguished in presentation. Set in a bold signet for the gentleman who values legacy, the stone becomes the focal point of an heirloom design. Mounted as a pendant against a silk blouse or an evening gown, it anchors a refined outfit with a whisper of natural strength. In bespoke cufflinks or as a centerpiece in a commission for a high jewelry ring, the gem's dimensions and tablet cut provide both presence and comfort in wear. Designers will appreciate the balance between the oval outline and the stone's rhythmic banding, the way the chatoyancy aligns with metal edges and setting shapes. Warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold amplify the golden chatoyant flash, while a satin finish on a platinum mount can create a dramatic contrast that modernizes the classic stone.

Owning this tiger's eye from The Natural Gemstone Company is an achievement in taste, a deliberate choice that announces a preference for authenticity and artisanal quality. Its Indian origin and unenhanced state speak to natural integrity, and its size at 4.90 carat places it among stones that are substantial enough to be admired, yet intimate enough to be worn daily by those who appreciate discreet grandeur. We invite you to imagine the stone in a design consultation with our specialist gem advisors, who can advise on settings that respect the gem's character and enhance its innate chatoyancy. Availability of such naturally polished, tablet cut specimens in this weight and dimension is limited, and each piece we offer is accompanied by our commitment to provenance and craftsmanship.
