Warm and unmistakably boho, this amber pendant catches the eye from across the room. The very big cabochon gathers honey and amber tones, and the cut smooths the surface so that light doesn't scatter in tiny fissures but plays as one unified glow. You can see the even colour in it - no cloudy patches or discolouration of the kind that turn up in lesser-matched stones. The shape nods to vintage, with a touch of the ease that boho jewelry is known for, so it sits well both on a short chain right at the neck and lower, on the décolletage.

Amber is fossilized resin, not a cold ore, and that difference comes through in the warmth radiating from its colour - old-time craftsmen linked it to the sun and to good fortune, while today it's worn more as a symbol than a talisman. The stone for this pendant was hand-picked so that colour and clarity hold to one consistent level, which with amber is far from a given. Good specimens are turning up ever more rarely, and silver and amber are rising in price, so this piece is worth considering now. The setting is refined European silver of high alloy purity, rhodium-plated, so the shine stays bright and clear for years, without tarnishing or scratches. The 925 hallmark confirms the purity of this alloy, and the silver bearing the French maker's mark attests to its origin.

In spring it looks good against a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf tied loosely at the neck - the amber warms up the coat's cooler tones. You can also pair it with a linen shirt and a light-coloured bag, where the honey colour of the stone becomes a natural extension of the outfit. Against a sweetheart neckline or a shirt collar, the pendant falls loosely, true to the boho spirit that can't stand stiffness.
