A warm, honey-toned amber pendant catches the eye the moment it falls against a neckline. The cabochon cut does not conceal the interior of the resin - on the contrary, it draws out its depth and the interplay of warm hues, from pale honey to deeper amber. Fourteen cubic zirconia surrounding the stone catch the light and accentuate the classic, symmetrical composition. Amber has long been associated with sunny warmth and success - this piece carries that association lightly and without ostentation.

Each stone is assessed for colour and clarity of the resin before it is set - a selection process that shows in the finished piece. Amber and silver are rising in price, so this purchase represents good value today. The pendant is made from refined sterling silver 925, free from nickel and other harmful impurities, so it will not irritate the skin. Rhodium deposited on the surface protects the metal against tarnishing and maintains a bright shine for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered at the French assay office.

For a city meeting, the pendant works well with an ivory roll-neck or beneath the collar of a classic beige trench coat. The warm tone of the amber plays with neutral shades - grey, ecru and camel brown - without the need for additional accessories. It is a classic form that draws the eye directly to the stone at the neckline.
