Tiger's eye stone cufflinks and tie tack set with silver-tone metal mounts

Tiger's eye is a chatoyant gemstone prized for its golden to brown bands and silky luster, formed through the replacement of crocidolite fibers with quartz. Cufflinks and tie tack sets featuring tiger's eye became particularly popular during the mid-20th century as men's formal accessories, valued for their warm tones and distinctive optical effect. These sets were commonly produced in the 1950s through 1980s as affordable yet elegant alternatives to precious stone jewelry. Tiger's eye jewelry appeals to collectors of vintage men's accessories, gemstone enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century fashion. The natural chatoyancy and earthy aesthetic make these pieces desirable for both everyday wear and collecting, particularly among those who appreciate the craftsmanship of vintage costume jewelry and the unique optical properties of this semi-precious stone.
