Crazy About Amber

After a recent sailing trip to the Baltic I have gone completely crazy for Amber! I love it - it's light, natural & the colours are great any time of the year.

Pressed Amber also comes in so many wonderful shapes that I'm spoilt for choice & design possibilities.

Light, medium or dark, short or long, round, briolette, square, oval or nugget - I will be spoiling you with all the delicious, tempting choices!
