{"product_id":"tigers-cameo","title":"Vintage Carved Tiger's Eye Double Portrait Cameo Two Helmeted Figures 16x12mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden tiger's eye with two male figures carved side by side in high relief cameo style — both shown in profile, each wearing an ornate helmet or ceremonial hat, with detailed crosshatched tunic or armor visible. The double portrait format is rare in carved gemstones and significantly more demanding to execute than a single figure, requiring the carver to balance two compositions within the same stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiger's eye is one of the more demanding materials for cameo carving. The fibrous silky bands that give it that rolling golden shimmer run through the stone in a way that makes every cut unpredictable, which is why carved tiger's eye pieces are less common than shell or onyx cameos. The chatoyancy is clearly visible in this stone and shifts as the piece moves in light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRectangular form, 16x12mm, 7.65 carats.
