A cabochon amber in a rich, honeyed hue meets a distinctly boho silhouette with a hint of vintage here. Inside the stone you can see fine glimmers and streaks that shift in the light from bright gold to a deeper purple. Amber is fossilised resin, warm to the touch and light despite the very big size of the setting. Baltic craftsmen have long linked this stone with the sun and good fortune, and its colour is still associated with prosperity and warmth today.

We chose a piece with a clear, deep colour free of cloudiness, since that is what defines the character of the whole piece. Good ambers rise in price alongside precious metals, so a purchase like this makes sense today. The stone is set in rhodium-plated 925 silver, and the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine despite everyday wear. The metal comes from European refining of sterling silver 925, pure and nickel-free, which matters for sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver.

A large pendant like this works well in summer, worn with a linen dress in a light ecru or sand shade - an open neckline and a simple cut give the stone room to stand out. It also pairs well with a cotton shirt with an open collar and natural boho-style accessories: raffia, wood, braided bracelets. In winter it can be worn over a turtleneck in muted grey, where the warm colour of the amber stands out clearly. At 5.4 grams, the pendant has presence without weighing you down when worn all day.
