The two amber cabochons in these earrings show a rich honey-cognac colour, and against the light they reveal small glints and a depth you won't find in a flat surface. The dangling, modern shape of the studs lets the stones move freely along the neckline, so with every turn of the head the angle at which light enters the amber changes. This is an organic material, fossilised resin, linked for generations in the Baltic region with sunny warmth and success - in these earrings the two stones have been matched so that their colour and clarity play off each other rather than contrast.

A well-matched pair of amber stones at a reasonable price is a rarity today, since good stones are getting more expensive along with silver. The setting is refined European silver 925, additionally rhodium-plated - the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine stays bright for years. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so the earrings do not irritate the skin even with prolonged wear. The silver here is stamped with the French maker's mark, which confirms the metal's origin and the care taken in its making.

Big, dangling amber earrings pair beautifully with a spring look - a pastel trench coat, a silk scarf in warm tones and a light-coloured handbag. With hair worn loose, the stones catch the eye with every turn of the head, and their warm colour brightens the face better than many a makeup look. With a simple trench coat and natural makeup they add a touch of colour without overdoing it, while for an evening look with hair pinned up they create a bold, sunny accent at the neckline.
