How to Shop for an Amber Pendant?

If you love jewelry and unusual gemstones, amber should be at the top of your jewelry wish list. Available in a myriad of colors and styles amber can complement any outfit. Women young and old fall in love with amber, so if you have not yet purchased your first amber pendant you are in for a treat.

How to Wear an Amber Pendant

The color of amber is very rich, so works well with autumnal shades or neutrals such as white and beige. It can also be striking when teamed up with a royal blue. Depending on the style of jewelry it is perfect for both formal and casual occasions.

An amber pendant can look particularly striking when teamed up with a plain black dress or color block outfit. For a classy business meeting with a dash of style, combine an amber pendant with a crisp white shirt. Avoid clashing colors such as reds and oranges as they will detract from the beauty of the stone.

For those who have a more eclectic dress sense an amber pendant can be a flattering accessory to the bohemian look, especially when other colors are muted. It can add an air of mystery and mystique to an outfit which otherwise might not stand out.

Choosing a Setting

Amber is typically yellow in color and 70% of natural resin comes in this color, which can also appear to be brownish. Amber with a yellow resin is typically found in the Baltic Sea region and it is a high quality resin.

Due to the rich and often intense color of amber gemstones, settings in silver, white and yellow gold metals are all very effective. For those with a penchant for contemporary fashion, choose chunky pendants with silver or white gold chains. If you prefer a more sophisticated and refined look, yellow gold will complement the amber stone.

The number of gas bubbles in the gemstone determines how light or dark the amber is. The higher the number of bubbles the lighter the shade of yellow the amber gemstone will be. Yellow gold is particularly suitable for amber stones in lemon, butterscotch or chestnut shades.

Amber Pendant - An Ideal Gift

Amber pendants are one of the best jewelry items to give as a gift because there is a big variety in terms of style and price. Above all, and perhaps most importantly, it is impossible to choose the wrong size!
