Two amber cabochons hang freely, giving these dangle earrings a retro silhouette paired with the stone's warm, resinous colour. Amber is fossilised resin, and with every movement of the head, small flashes and streaks appear within it, giving the stone depth instead of flat uniformity. The hanging stud form is light, so the earrings follow the line of the neck and hair freely, without weighing down the ear. Amber has long been associated with sunny warmth and good fortune, which suits the warm tone of its colour well.

Only a small part of the reviewed raw material makes it into production, because purity and saturated colour matter in every stone. Silver and other precious metals are rising in price, and good ambers are increasingly hard to source, so this price for this level of craftsmanship makes sense today. The core of the earrings is refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a thick layer of 18-carat gold in line with the vermeil standard, confirmed by the stamped vermeil mark V. It is the gold, not the silver, that touches the skin, so the earrings can be worn without worry of irritation or allergic reaction. The piece is completed with a stamp of the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the silver.

These earrings work well in office styling: with a smooth shirt and a jacket in a muted colour, the amber warms the face without excess. Hair pulled back into a bun or smoothly combed back reveals the line of the neck and lets the cabochons swing freely. In a total look of grey or beige, the amber brings a warm accent that breaks the coolness of those tones. At 3.4 g, the earrings wear lightly through a full day at work.
