This pendant with two amber stones draws the eye with a warm, honey glow that deepens into a richer amber hue in the light. The cabochon cut rounds off the surface of each stone and brings out its natural depth - amber is fossilised resin, so fine streaks and tiny bubbles often lie within, giving each piece its own unique pattern. Long associated with sunny warmth and success, it makes a fitting gift with a personal message. The simple, minimalist form of the pendant setting doesn't compete for attention with the stones - they're what draws the eye when the pendant rests against the neckline.

Each of the two amber stones is chosen by hand, checked for colour and clarity, so that a stone of exceptional quality can be had at a reasonable price. Silver and good natural stones rise in price year after year, and amber with a pure, saturated colour is getting harder to find, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The pendant is made from refined European 925 silver coated with a layer of rhodium, which protects the surface from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine lasts much longer. The alloy contains no nickel or other metals known to cause allergies, so wearing the pendant every day won't irritate the skin. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

The pendant's big size works well in a casual, city-ready outfit - with straight jeans, a loose-fit white shirt and a leather jacket. An open shirt collar reveals the neckline and lets the amber stones show off freely. The modern, understated form of the pendant also suits a sweater with a v-neck, where the amber colour warms up the cooler tones of the outfit. At a weight of 4.0 grams the pendant wears light, and its bold colour works just as well by day as in the evening.
