Two amber cabochons open this pair of earrings with a clean, minimalist line. Amber is fossilised resin with a warm, honey colour, and with every turn of the head new flashes of light appear within it - sometimes brighter, sometimes muted by a deeper amber tone. The stud form is simple and light, allowing the earrings to sit easily by the ear without weighing it down or drawing attention away from the face. A length of 4.0 cm lets the amber fall freely along the jawline, brushing against the hair with every movement of the head.

Each of the two amber stones was examined separately and chosen by hand for clarity and depth of colour, free of flaws clouding its interior. Prices of silver and precious metals are rising, and good-quality amber is becoming harder to find, so such a carefully selected stone at this price is a sound choice today. The setting is vermeil - refined European silver 925 coated with a thick layer of 18-carat gold, confirmed by the struck V mark. It is the gold, not the silver, that touches the skin, and an alloy free of nickel and other harmful metal additives does not cause allergies or irritation. Silver stamped with the French maker's mark attests to the metal's origin. In old Baltic craftsmanship, amber was associated with sunny warmth and success, which makes it a fitting choice for a gift.

These earrings pair well with a trench coat and a thin turtleneck in neutral grey or beige - the honey amber livens up the muted palette and draws the eye to the face. For a meeting in town, they also work well with a simple hairstyle that reveals the neckline, giving the cabochons extra space to stand out. Their modern, understated form means the earrings wear equally well on an office day and after hours, all the while keeping amber's warm, distinctive character.
