Chairman's Notes

Cat’s Eye has the longest history of gems in the chrysoberyl family. It was treasured in Asia before the birth of Christ and became quite well-known in Rome by the end of the 1st Century. The popularity of cat’s eye chrysoberyl sky-rocked in the 19th Century after the Duke of Connaught presented his fiance with a cat’s eye betrothal ring. Ceylon, where most of the finest examples of cat’s eye were sourced at the time, could not keep up with the overwhelming demand! Fine specimens with a strong and well-defined cat's eye as well as a distinctive milk-and-honey appearance - as exhibited in this piece - are highly sought after by collectors and gemstone enthusiasts due to their rarity, unique optical properties and striking appearance.
