The story of this piece

Focus / Momentum

The essential tiger-eye circle

No metal, no barrel, no focal stone. Black agate in a clean rhythm, interrupted by tiger eye where the light should land. It is the most reduced piece in the house, and for many wearers the first.

It belongs to Command. The old markets wore tiger eye for momentum and black agate to hold that momentum in place; the pairing is centuries older than the house. We kept it exactly as it was handed down, because there was nothing to add.

A first seal is the one a person uses before they have earned a grander one, and often the one they keep using after. This is that piece: the daily circle, worn until it becomes a habit rather than an object.

Worn

The weight is considered and the finish is better in person. It is the one thing I put on before difficult meetings.

Tiger eye

From the stone library

Tiger eye

Golden-brown bands of fibrous quartz that shift as the wrist turns — the chatoyant 'eye'.

Worn in old markets to draw fortune and to keep it; the hunter's stone that waits and then moves.

Questions about this piece

What if I don't know my wrist size?

Order without a size. We write to you before stringing with a two-minute way to measure, and we hold the piece until you reply.

Can I wash my hands with it on?

Yes, briefly. Take it off for showers, swimming and sleep; wood and porous stones prefer to stay dry.

What happens if the cord wears?

Send it back. The house restrings cord and closure for life; a restring takes seven to ten days.

Is it a good gift if I don't know their size?

Yes. Choose Standard fit and the middle of the range, and add a note. One complimentary resize is included, and the record card explains it.
