eye of the tiger

Take a walk on the wild side with bold tigereye jewels. This gem of the jun­gle, which was first popular in the swinging sixties, is a type of quartz that got its name from its distinctive yellow and brown stripes. Today's jewelry shows off the stone in unique shapes, from discs, cabochons and teardrops to little bamboo stalks. You can pair almost any of these pieces with your daytime look, be it a sweater and jeans or a jacket over a sleek sheath. The big ear­rings, however, should be reserved for nights when you're on the prowl.
