Intricate details are etched into the bi-colour stone, to give it a hyper-realistic appearance from every angle. The fashion in which light moves through the tiger’s eye also enhances this life-like quality as it mimics how the light would bounce off a creature in nature. Scales reminiscent of those on a conifer cone are worked into the 18ct gold band and lead the eye up towards the three-dimensional bear. The finely detailed segments are set in an organic fashion around the bear’s head evoking a sense of effortlessness despite the stone being very securely set. This unusual and charismatic ring features an eagle’s head hallmark on the outside of the shank which indicates the ring's French origins.
