Two amber cabochons set in small studs bring a warm, sunny tone to any look. Amber is fossilized resin, and its interior hides flashes of gold and honey that shift shade with every turn of the head. The simple, minimalist form of the stud does not distract from the colour of the stone - it is the stone that draws the eye when you tuck your hair behind your ear. In old-world craft, amber was linked to sunny warmth and to a symbol of good fortune, which suits jewelry worn close to the face well.

Only a small share of the reviewed raw material makes it into the finished piece - purity and depth of colour are what count, so each of the two amber stones is selected by hand. Prices for silver and for good natural stones are rising, so buying earrings like these today remains a sound decision price-wise. The studs are made of refined European 925 silver, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so they do not need frequent cleaning. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so they can be worn without worrying about skin sensitivity. The studs are stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

These earrings sit well in looks with a romantic character - with a lace blouse, a dress in a soft pastel shade, or with loose, gently curled hair. At 1.2 grams, wearing them all day goes unnoticed. The warm colour of the amber brings light, muted clothing tones to life and pairs well with red and dark blonde hair. It is a small detail by the face that adds a note of warmth to the whole look.
