Two cabochon-cut amber stones bring a warm, resinous depth to these earrings, set in a classic dangle form. Amber is fossilised resin, and its interior holds tiny flashes and streaks that shift in tone as the head turns - from golden honey to a deeper, richer hue. The simple post line lets the earring hang freely, never heavy, and shows to good effect against a bare neck or hair swept up. In old craft traditions amber was linked with sunny warmth and good fortune, which makes it a popular choice as a gift.

Each of the two amber stones was examined individually and chosen for its colour and clarity before being set. Silver and good natural stones rise in price year after year, and amber with such a clear, pure core is getting harder to find, so today's price for these earrings remains reasonable. The setting is refined European 925 silver, additionally rhodium-plated - the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine for years to come. This alloy contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so the earrings can also be worn by those with sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark establishing its origin, registered at the French assay office.

For everyday wear they work well with a loose oversized sweater and a draped scarf in calm, earthy tones - amber brings life to such a muted outfit and catches the eye with every turn of the head. Hair worn loose with the ear exposed lets you appreciate the play of light in the stone, while a tied-back bun further highlights the line of the neck. In autumn they pair well with a suede jacket and a turtleneck sweater, in winter with a wool coat in cool grey. The classic form of these earrings makes them easy to combine with everyday, natural styling.
