Six amber cabochons run along a silver chain in the loose, layered rhythm typical of boho jewellery. Amber is fossilized resin, so each cabochon shows its own pattern of streaks - a honey glow that shifts here and there into a darker, almost brown tone. Held up to the light, the stone reveals depth and warm flashes that shift with every turn of the head. The necklace measures 38 centimetres in length, and a 4-centimetre adjustable extension lets you fit it to the neckline of a dress or shirt.

Each of the six amber stones was inspected individually before it went into this necklace - what matters is the colour and clarity of the resin, not just its size. Good stones of this kind are growing scarcer, and silver keeps getting more expensive year on year, so buying at this price makes sense today. The metal is refined sterling silver 925 with a high-purity alloy, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine through everyday wear, while the French maker's mark on the piece attests to the silver's origin. The whole piece is finished with an eye for European quality, visible in the even rhodium plating and the careful setting of each cabochon.

In summer this necklace pairs well with a flowing linen dress in a light shade and a deeper neckline that shows off the line of the neck. It also works with a cotton shirt worn open at the collar, whether on the beach or during an evening stroll. Amber has long been linked with sunny warmth and success, which fits naturally with easy, relaxed summer looks. The six amber stones draw the eye with colour alone, so the rest of the outfit can stay simple and natural.
