Cat's Eyes

The first gemstone I bought for myself was a set of cat's eye (or tiger's eye) necklace and earring more than a decade ago. This has become one of my favorite stones because of the way the different layers of colors reveal itself as the gem is turned. It is said to represent happiness and serenity, not to mention improve your luck. Its 'magical' properties include stimulating intuition, enhancing awareness and treating eye disorders particularly increasing responsiveness during night-driving.

I thought handwoven Japanese seed beads and cat's eye would go very well. So I made 2 sets of earrings. For now.

  1. I can't believe when you show me all these are made from hands. Excellent handicraft.
