Sterling Silver Amber Jewelry
Every AMBERRA piece pairs natural Baltic amber with solid 925 sterling silver — never plated base metal. The warm glow of the stone and the cool shine of hand-worked metal are a classic combination, durable enough to wear every day.
94 pieces
Our silver is 92.5% pure (the “925” hallmark), the international standard for fine jewelry. It is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, hand-forged by our artisans, and finished to hold each amber cabochon securely.
Why 925 Sterling Silver?
Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% other metals — usually copper — added for strength. Pure silver alone is too soft to hold a stone; the “925” standard keeps the bright, white lustre of silver while making it durable enough for daily wear. It is the metal jewelers have paired with Baltic amber for centuries.
Because our sterling is nickel-free, it is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Its neutral cool tone is the perfect foil for amber: it never competes with the stone, it frames it, letting the warm cherry, cognac and honey tones lead.
Hand-Forged by Our Artisans
AMBERRA silver is worked entirely by hand by our artisans. Each setting is forged, shaped and polished to cradle a single amber cabochon securely — filigree, granulation and bezel work that a casting machine cannot reproduce. This is why no two AMBERRA pieces are identical.
Silversmithing by hand is a living tradition. The same hands that shape our amber rings and pendants have worked silver for a lifetime, and every finished piece carries that craft.
Caring for Silver & Amber Together
Sterling silver darkens slowly as it reacts with air — a natural patina that wipes away with a soft silver cloth. But amber is a soft, organic stone, so never soak an AMBERRA piece in a silver-dip solution or clean it with ultrasonic machines: these can dull or crack the amber.
To care for both at once, wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth, keep pieces away from perfume, heat and household chemicals, and store each item separately in a soft pouch. Worn often and kept dry, sterling silver actually tarnishes less — the oils of your skin help keep it bright.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AMBERRA jewelry solid sterling silver?
Yes, all AMBERRA settings are solid 925 sterling silver, meaning 92.5 percent pure silver, the international standard for fine jewelry. Some pieces add 18k gold plating over sterling for a warmer look, but none use plated base metal beneath. Sterling silver alloys pure silver with a small amount of other metal for strength, since pure silver alone is too soft to hold a stone securely. Because our sterling is nickel-free, it is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Every setting is hand-forged by our artisans, and each order includes a certificate of authenticity covering both the amber and the metal.
Is sterling silver good for amber?
Yes, sterling silver is one of the best and most traditional metals for Baltic amber. It is strong, hypoallergenic and neutral in cool tone, so it protects the soft, organic amber stone while letting its warm color lead rather than competing with it. Jewelers have paired 925 sterling silver with Baltic amber for centuries, because its bright, white lustre frames the cherry, cognac and honey tones beautifully. It is also durable enough for daily wear and gentle on sensitive skin. AMBERRA hand-forges every setting to cradle each amber cabochon securely by hand.
Will sterling silver tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken slowly over time as it naturally reacts with air and moisture, forming a patina. This is normal and easily reversed: simply wipe the metal with a soft cloth and store your jewelry dry, ideally in a soft pouch with an anti-tarnish strip. Worn regularly, sterling silver actually tarnishes less, because the oils of your skin and the friction of wear help keep it bright. Because amber is a soft, organic stone, avoid dipping AMBERRA pieces in silver-cleaning solutions or using ultrasonic machines, which can dull or crack the amber. Polish the silver separately with a proper silver cloth.
Is the silver hallmarked?
AMBERRA silver meets the 925 sterling standard, which means it is 92.5 percent pure silver, the internationally recognized benchmark for fine jewelry. This is the same 925 mark used to identify genuine sterling silver worldwide. Rather than relying on a stamp alone, each order includes a certificate of authenticity covering both the natural Baltic amber and the sterling silver metal, so you have written assurance of what you are buying. Our silver is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, hand-forged by our artisans and finished to hold each amber cabochon securely. Every piece ships with free worldwide shipping over $200.
