These dangle earrings from the vintage collection catch the eye with the warm, honeyed colour of amber. Two cabochon-cut amber stones catch the light differently with every turn of the head - sometimes glowing bright gold, sometimes deepening into a richer amber shade. The slightly elongated, dangling form moves along the neckline and brushes against the hair, adding a subtle dynamic to the face. Amber, a fossilised resin of organic origin, has long been associated with sunny warmth and success - in many jewellery traditions it was regarded as a symbol of prosperity.

For this piece we select amber stones of similar colour and clarity, so that the two stones together form a coherent, uniform pair. Silver and good-quality amber both rise in price year after year, so buying at this price makes sense today. The refined European 925 silver, with its high alloy purity, is free of nickel, which is most often responsible for skin irritation - so the earrings can be worn without worrying about allergies. A layer of rhodium protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the metal's shine clear and bright for years to come. The silver also bears the French maker's mark - confirmation of the metal's origin, entered in accordance with the rules of the French assay office.

They come into their own in a total-black outfit - against a black turtleneck or a simple blouse, the amber glow becomes a warm focal point near the face. Hair pulled back into a bun or tucked behind the ears further highlights the movement of the earrings at the neck. They also work well with a dark coat in winter, when the cool grey of the surroundings sets off the warmth of the amber. At 3.1 grams, despite their striking form, the earrings wear lightly all day long.
