Reflect Autumn’s Glow with the Warmth of Amber

As the leaves turn and the air grows cooler, there’s a quiet kind of magic in Autumn—a season that invites us to slow down, wrap up, and reconnect with the beauty around us.

Our amber jewellery captures that essence perfectly. Each piece glows with rich, golden warmth—like holding a piece of sunlight frozen in time. Whether you're layering up for long walks or adding a little radiance and wellness to your day, brings a grounding, organic elegance that matches the season.

Recent changes to goods entering USA

We are happy to report that we continue to send to USA without delay following the recent tariff changes implemented by USA.  The big takeaway is that gifts under $100 are TARIFF FREE.  

What's the story: Following a directive from the US government effective from 29 August 2025 all goods entering the USA now have taxes applied.  The previous de minimis (exempt limit) of below $800 no longer applies. However, gifts sent with a value of less than $100 or €85 can continue to be sent as normal with no change or charge.  

What we are doing:  We will reduce your admin headache by pre clearance of your package, via An Post, to ensure faster customs processing and transparent costs. 

What you should do: 

• Let us know if your purchase is a gift by a message in the Special Instructions box at checkout.
• If it is over this value, and/or not a gift, your email address will be provided to our carriage partner, An Post. 
• Keep an eye for an email from An Post and follow the instructions to pay the 15% charge that may be implemented.  Payment must be made within 5 days. 
• Once paid, your package will continue onwards to be delivered to the recipient without hassle or charge at the receiving end.  

We expect that the systems are in place and there will be no or minimum delay in delivery.  We hope you understand that is is outside our control and in the hands of officials .  Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the above change.

Amber Care Tip for Summer Days

We tell you that your amber beads work best for healing when worn all the time, day and night.  But summer days remind us that there is one time that its best to remove your amber beads - sun cream days.  There are a few reasons for this:

1. The sun cream can coat your amber beads.  It is difficult to clean off as amber is best kept away from soaps also.  So the sun cream, and other skin care creams, will remain on the beads and inhibit the beneficial action against the skin. 
2. The sun cream on your skin creates a barrier.  That's the intention - a protective barrier against the suns rays.   This barrier will also stop your amber from doing it's business.  
3. Leave it at home - we often hear from customers that their amber beads got lost on days out.  Changes in our routine, packing, dressing for weather etc and with all the fussing over creams, the amber gets removed and 'stored safely' in a pocket or bag.  Later, the beads cannot be found!  So our advice is to leave it at home before setting out.  

There is no long-term loss if you amber is not worn for a few hours.  Yes, you may find symptoms return after a few hours.  But when it is put on again, it gets to work again fairly quickly.  So rather than damage it or loose it, its probably best to leave it at home. Just put it back on as soon as you can.

What size amber anklet to order.

You want an anklet that is not too loose and not too tight!  Too loose will fall down over the heel.  Too tight and it will not be comfortable.  

Before you purchase, we advise you to measure the ankle and then check our product details.  Have a look at the general guide below but please note ankle sizes vary like shoe sizes! 

Anklets can also be used as bracelets and worn on the wrist.  

How to measure the ankle

Use a flat tape and place around the ankle, just above the ankle bone where you imagine the anklet will fit.  You need to order a little above a flat measurement, about 1 cm to 1.5 cm, to allow for the beads, a bit of movement and maybe a bit of growing room.   

For example: If you get a measurement of 14 cm snug, you'd need to order a 15 cm anklet.  

To see what these lengths will look and fit like on the wearer, you could use a  necklace with small beads and measure against the wearer and on a ruler.  You need to be able to put a little finger into the gap.  

If you don't have a tape, use a ribbon and ruler.  

We are a little generous with our fits.  A 15 cm anklet will measure on a ruler, not pulled taught, at 15 cm to 15.5 cm. 

Anklet Size Guide

12cm   Really tiny ankle

13cm  Tiny ankle fitting between closed finger and thumb

14cm  Getting a little bigger

15cm  Good mid size for 'standard' build ankle

16cm  Getting a bit bigger and filling out

17cm  Chunky ankle

18cm  Good size for a larger ankle, small adult ankle and 'standard' adult wrist

If you need any help to decide what length is best, please do not hesitate to get in touch.  

It is no problem to exchange if you are not happy with the fit.
