This is an eye closeup, or eyecon, for my golden jackal 'sona Auric that was created by  Artali as part of a special $20 headshot sale though eye cons and paw cons were also available at cheaper price if you requested them:
The sale is now closed but if you watch Artali you'll know when the next sale opens up. There are currently a limited number of $25 headshots available here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17427845/

The black ring around the iris is to make it more well defined when the picture is shrunk down to icon size. The black ring is not 'officially' part of Auric's iris and does not need to be included in other artwork of Auric, think of it like an outline that was retained.

Here is the original posting in Artali's gallery: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17378499/

Here are some headshots of Auric (with hood) that Artali did for me featuring Auric's eye:
