These vintage-style dangle earrings pair a soft, teardrop silhouette with the warmth of amber set in rhodium silver. The two cabochon-cut amber stones show a rich honey-cognac colour, and as the head moves, faint glimmers of lighter gold appear within them. Amber is fossilised resin, an organic material, so every piece varies slightly in shade and depth of colour - for this design, stones with a clean, warm tone and no cloudiness were chosen. In earlier times amber travelled the Baltic trade routes, and merchants associated it with the warmth of the sun and success in business.

The colour and clarity of the amber were checked by hand, since these two qualities determine its value - the result is high quality at a reasonable price. Silver and fine amber grow more expensive year on year, and stones of this quality are becoming harder to find, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The setting is made of refined European silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects it against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long without frequent cleaning. The earring posts are made from a pure alloy free of nickel and harmful additives, so even with extended wear the skin has no reason to react. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered with the assay office.

Dangle earrings sit close to the face and the line of the neck, so they pair well with hair worn in a simple bun or a smooth ponytail, styles that don't draw attention away from the amber. For the office, wear them with a crisp shirt in a cool shade and a blazer in muted grey or charcoal - the warm colour of the stone softens the severity of such a combination. In the evening, they work with a simple dress in bottle green or deep burgundy, where the amber gains in intensity. Their medium size and weight of 3.2 grams mean the earrings wear lightly all day long.
