Amber necklaces
Fossilized tree resin millions of years old, traditionally worn as a warm protective amulet of vitality. Here is how it works in necklaces specifically.
Choosing a Amber necklace
Necklaces sit protected against the body, so even softer stones work well. For color, look for an even yellow tone, and match the metal to your skin tone and budget.
Best metals and settings
Amber pairs well with yellow gold, sterling silver. An open setting lets more light into the stone. Compare options in our metal guides.
