Sigi's modernist cuff set with a single gleaming tiger eye quartz is a technical tour de force. Its fit depends on the artist's understanding of how to wrap concave and convex surfaces over the human form. Every surface curve has been calculated to precise exactness with no margin for error. A single niello-accented tiger eye cabochon brings together the essence of sand and sunlight, synthesizing the energies of Sun and Earth. Tiger eye is said to balance yin yang energy, generating calmness and awareness, and promoting the wearer's ability to attract and maintain wealth. Sigi's masterful composition is a work of art that succeeds on many levels. Here is the artist living in a multi-dimensional world, and sharing it with you.
