SILVER AMBER CABOCHON TRIQUETRA CELTIC STUDS

Let's dive into the world of these charming cognac Amber studs – they're basically your go-to for everyday wear because, let me tell you, they're as light as a feather and oh-so-comfy! These earrings, with their delightful triangular design, draw inspiration from the mystical Celtic trefoil pattern. But here's the star of the show – a round piece of Baltic Amber takes centre stage, adding that touch of warmth and intrigue to your look.

Now, when it comes to keeping these beauties snug in your ears, we've got you covered with Sterling Silver stopper backs. It's important to note that these are for those with pierced ears only, so if you've got a bit of ear art going on, these are the studs you've been searching for. They measure approximately 10mm across, making them just the right size to make a statement without overwhelming your lobes.

Speaking of designs, let's chat about the Triquetra design that graces these stunning studs. It's not just a pretty pattern; it's got some deep symbolism going on. Originally stemming from ancient Pagan Celtic imagery, it found its way into Christianity. You might spot similarities with Odin's symbol, the valknut, too. It's a reminder of the rich tapestry of history and meaning that art can carry.

Now, let's explore a bit about the mysterious world of Amber. In Vienna, Amber factories take pale Amber and work their magic. They use it to craft pipes and other smoking tools, turning it on a lathe and giving it a polish with whitening and water, or if they want to go old-school, with rottenstone and oil. Here's the cool part – when you gently heat Amber in an oil bath, it becomes soft and flexible, which is handy for crafting intricate designs. If you've got cloudy Amber, fear not! An oil bath can help clarify it by filling those tiny pores that cause the cloudiness.

But here's a juicy tidbit – Amber has a bit of a poser problem. It's been imitated over the years by other resins like copal and kauri gum, not to mention celluloid and even glass. So, if you're rocking Amber, you're not just donning a gorgeous piece of jewelry; you're wearing a slice of history and a touch of nature's magic.

So, if you're all about embracing the beauty of the past while adding a touch of warmth and mystique to your style, these Amber studs are your perfect partners in crime! 💃✨
