A petite oval of Baltic amber, 8mm x 6mm, set on a sterling silver band. Small, neat and easy to wear, it works on its own or stacked with other silver rings, and it's a good starting point for anyone new to amber. This ring is UK size N.

The stone

• What it is: Fossilised resin from prehistoric conifer forests along the Baltic, the richest amber source on Earth.
• Colour: Warm honey-to-cognac tones [check colour]. Being natural, each stone has its own subtle shade.
• Gemstone properties: Amber is soft (2–2.5 on the Mohs scale), so treat it gently. Take it off for housework, the gym or swimming, and keep it away from perfume and hairspray.
