A warm shade of honey and amber resin catches the eye at once in these dangle earrings with a loose, boho-inspired silhouette. Two amber cabochons shimmer with every turn of the head - in one light they darken almost to the colour of cognac, in another they lighten and reveal the fine, natural streaks within the resin. Amber is fossilised resin, a material that feels alive to the touch and light to wear, so these 3.0 cm earrings don't weigh down the earlobe despite their striking presence near the face. In many cultures it has been associated with the warmth of the sun and with good fortune, which suits its warm, golden hue well.

A piece of amber like this one, with a clear colour and no cloudiness, is easy to overlook among random stones - a second one with a similar shade is hard to match later. The prices of silver and good natural stones are steadily rising, which means that craftsmanship of this quality remains reasonably priced today. The posts and setting are made of refined European silver, valued for its purity and stable shine. This sterling silver 925 contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

These earrings pair well with simply cut pieces - a camel-coloured trench coat, a cool grey turtleneck or a natural white linen shirt create a backdrop against which the amber gains strength. They work well for a meeting in town or an afternoon coffee, when you want to add warmth to a look without piling on extra accessories. Worn with loose hair or with it swept up to reveal the neckline, the amber brightens the whole face, and its colour pairs well with an autumn palette - browns, khaki and dark green.
