Baltic Amber Polished Free Form Sterling Silver Earrings

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pair of earrings: Baltic Amber Polished Free Form Sterling Silver Earrings (shop SKU AMBAST150).

Amber is fossil tree resin, typically golden to brown, sometimes with visible inclusions. It is softer than most gemstones and should be kept away from heat and solvents.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
