What are cat eye bracelets?
Cat eye bracelets feature gemstones or glass with a luminous line of light that glides across the surface—an optical effect called chatoyancy. This phenomenon appears in natural stones such as tiger eye and certain quartzes, and is also beautifully replicated in high-quality fiber-optic glass beads.
Distinctive appearance: a shimmering band that moves with motion
The hallmark of cat eye is the moving, silky light band that shifts as the bead rotates. The effect creates a sleek, mystical look that stands out in both minimalist and stacked bracelet styles.
Historical and cultural significance (amulets for luck and protection)
Across cultures, cat’s eye amulets have been worn for luck, protection, and sharp perception. Their watchful “eye” symbolism evokes vigilance and intuition, making them popular talismans for travelers and decision-makers.
