Its deep brown color generates a unique optical effect — a luminous line that shifts gently as you change the viewing angle, as if the stone blinks. Pure optical theater, no tricks: the ray of light reflects through the stone's fibrous crystalline structure, a phenomenon gemologists call chatoyancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sterling .950 silver holding these stones comes from Taxco, complete with its hallmark certifying authenticity. The setting is entirely handmade — each Cat's Eye was positioned, measured, and fixed by an artisan's hand, without press or machine. These are light earrings (3.41 g the pair), yet they carry hours of precision in their construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silvercraft.
