Cat’s Eye Ring – Rare, Beautiful and Exquisite

If you are a person with taste and you want to purchase a piece of jewelry for your loved one, then you would not want to settle for cheap copies or fakes. While the most common idea of a perfect gemstone is a diamond, there are some other options you can go with.

Have you ever heard of chrysoberyl? This is a gemstone that occupies the third spot in the hardness top of naturally occurring gemstones. Chrysoberyl has three varieties with different characteristics: ordinary chrysoberyl, which is yellowish-green, alexandrite, a gem that changes color in different lightings, and cymophane, also known as cat’s eye.

The cat’s eye gem presents an optical reflectance effect which reminds of the eye of a cat. The best cat’s eye is believed to have the colors of milk and honey, because a sharp and milky ray crosses the honey colored gem right down the middle.

Cat’s eye is not the only gemstone which creates an effect like this. Among others, corundum, quartz, tourmaline and more can create a similar effect, but not as intense. Because of this, they are called quartz or ruby cat’s eye, and the only cat’s eye that needs no other tag is cymophane.

A cat’s eye ring can be a suitable accessory for both men and women. This is due to the fact that the stone is durable, having a 8.5 hardness on the Mohs scale, and therefore it can stand abuse. Because it is rare, the price tag on such a gem can be quite high. In compensation, the fact that is little known and is rarely asked for in stores, the demand for the stone lowers the price.

The popularity and value of this gemstone increased greatly in the 19th century, when the Duke of Connaught gave a cat’s eye ring as a token of engagement. Up to that point, the gemstone could only be found as part of the collection hobbies of various people.

Handmade jewelry has been around for ages. Around two hundred years ago, British royalty purchased an exquisite 105 carats cat’s eye ring, which has been passed on to four monarchs. The record for this gemstone is the 500 carats cat’s eye previously owned by the wealthy British banker and gemstone enthusiast Thomas P. Hope. There was no other cat’s eye that neared that value.

A cat’s eye ring can be offered as a gift on various occasions. It symbolizes wealth and abundance, and it targets the wearer’s state of mind, altering it in order to embrace all that surrounds us. In order to have that effect, the gemstone must be genuine.
