Warm, honey-toned amber in two cabochons is set against the simple, classic silhouette of stud earrings. Before it reaches its silver setting, each stone passes through a jeweller's hands, who assesses the colour and clarity of the resin under light - which is why the amber shows a rich amber hue free of cloudiness. As the head turns, the stone catches the light differently than at rest - now a warm glow, now a deeper, amber flash. Amber has long been associated with sunny warmth and success, which makes it a popular choice as a gift.

Silver and good stones are steadily rising in price, and nature itself limits the availability of valuable amber specimens, so buying earrings like these today makes sense from a value standpoint. The setting is made of refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity, additionally coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface against blackening, dulling and scratches, so the shine lasts for years. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark on the metal is a guarantee of the quality and origin of the silver used to make the earrings.

Near the face, amber warms the complexion and pairs well with light, loose hair styled in soft waves. In a romantic style, it works well with a lace blouse in powder pink or a delicate dress in a small pattern in pastel tones. For a classic, light styling, the earrings add a warm colour that draws the eye toward the face and neckline. They work just as well during the day as for an evening occasion with soft makeup.
