Comments about Amber Leaf Jewelry:
Very pretty & dellicate design, but the button closure makes it difficult to extend it - as it is too short. The cording is plastic-y - like heavy fishing line, which is a disappointment too. I am afraid it might become brittle and fall apart. Love the design, and the actual amber pieces, but wish it were put together with better materials, and with a different kind of clasp.

Recipient of the gift mentioned the unusual color of the amber and the workmanship. Smithsonian should import more of such lovely items from the Baltics and also from Poland.

Comments about Amber Leaf Jewelry:
Unfortunately the earrings fell apart as soon as I picked them up out of the box. Someone else had reported this problem and I ignored it. Silly me! Don't bother - even if on sale. Also, the look like they could be flexible and swing but the way they are splayed in the picture is the way they are stuck. Will probably take them to a jeweler and see if they can be fixed, or maybe use the amber for something else.

Comments about Amber Leaf Jewelry:
The necklace is the right length for me and I like the contrast between the two colors of amber. The clasp is somewhat difficult to fasten and unfasten due to arthritus in my fingers.

Comments about Amber Leaf Jewelry:
These earrings are absolutely beautiful. They are feminine, delicate and well-made. They also are quite versatile. Mine are not the typical reddish amber color, but rather a darker brown which makes them function as a neutral and can be worn with many colors. I am very pleased with them.

Comments about Amber Leaf Jewelry:
I bought this necklace and the matching earrings to wear with a special dress to a wedding. They are beautiful pieces, very delicate but also eye-catching. The amber leaves reflect different hues in the light and are easy to clasp with a buttonhole catch. These could be worn for dress events such as the wedding or I think with a casual outfit like jeans and a jacket. Very versatile.
