Set in recycled sterling silver, bright amber is the centrepiece of this gemstone necklace, handmade in Cornwall. Amber comes from fossilized tree resin, so each piece is slightly different, depending on how it formed millions of years ago. It can include ancient leaves and tree bark, or even tiny insects captured in time inside the stone.

Perfect for nature lovers, the orange gemstone adds a warm colourful glow to any look. It’s available with either a classic rope chain or a satellite chain for a modern feel.

The amber necklace is one of my ten semi-precious gemstone pieces – the collection includes beautiful natural materials such as red abalone and mother of pearl.
