In Short
Amber jewellery here uses fossilised tree resin in warm honey tones, hand-wrapped onto silver and gold-filled metalwork.
What Is This Collection?
Amber is fossilised tree resin rather than a mineral. It formed over millions of years, which is why it is far lighter and warmer to the touch than stone of the same size. Every piece is handcrafted by John S. Brana in his San Francisco studio.
What This Collection Includes
Wire wrapped spiral earrings, beaded gemstone necklaces and chain maille bracelets, in sterling silver and 14K gold-filled.
How the pieces differ
Pieces differ by how the amber is cut, from faceted beads that catch light to smooth rounds that glow, and by the metal it is set against.
Who this collection suits
Anyone who wears warm colours, autumn wardrobes, and buyers who prefer organic materials to faceted minerals.
How to Choose
| Option | What it is | Who it suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faceted amber beads | Cut faces that catch and return light | Anyone who wants the honey colour to sparkle | How strongly it reads in daylight |
| Smooth amber beads | Polished rounds with a soft glow | A quieter, more organic look | Whether you prefer glow to sparkle |
| Gold-filled settings | Warm metal that reinforces the honey tone | Warm skin tones | That warm on warm is the effect you want |
| Silver settings | Cool metal that contrasts with the amber | Sharper definition | Whether the contrast suits you |
Criteria that matter most
- Hardness – harder stones suit rings and daily wear; softer ones are safer in earrings and pendants
- Metal pairing – warm metals deepen warm stones, cool metals sharpen cool ones
- Natural variation – every stone differs in tone, so the photograph shows the style rather than the exact piece
- Care – store stones separately and keep them away from ultrasonic cleaners and jewellery dips

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is amber a gemstone?
Not strictly. It is fossilised tree resin, an organic material rather than a mineral, which is why it feels warm and weighs far less than stone.
Q2. How delicate is amber?
Soft, at 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale. Keep it away from perfume, solvents, direct heat and harder stones, which will scratch it easily.
Q3. How do I clean amber?
Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately. Never use ultrasonic cleaners, jewellery dips or any solvent-based cleaner.
Q4. Does amber fade?
Prolonged heat and direct sunlight can darken or craze amber over time, so store it in a cool, dark place rather than on a windowsill.
