Alluring amber stones gleam in these stunning chandelier earrings. By Flora Maria of Mexico, the earrings are handcrafted from sterling silver with leaf motifs.

Mexico's Guillermo Arregui designs a luminous choker of arresting beauty. It is cast of sterling silver and centered by a glowing amber gem. Crowned with an iridescent pearl and peridot, the pendant glistens with tumbaga, a gold and copper alloy developed since pre-Hispanic times.

When used in jewelry, amber beads can include a stunning arrangement of tones and hues. Natural amber ranges from yellow to deep orange. It may sometimes even have a green cast to it, as well as opaque swirls within. Because amber is the preserved resin of prehistoric trees that grew millions of years ago, it sometimes has tiny inclusions of plants and insects -- making it highly prized.

Sacred to every pre-Hispanic community in Mexico, today maize inspires Flora Maria in the elegant design of these earrings. Bright yellow amber resembles corn kernels that glisten with treasured elegance. Detailed with artistic realism, the sterling silver earrings are crafted with lost wax techniques featuring hollow backs and an antiqued finish.

Natural amber is a fossilized resin, and no two pieces are alike in shape and color. Bits of moss and plant life may be seen within droplets of true amber.
