Turns out not much goes with amber except, well, amber. Today I’m wearing a pair of silver and amber twig shaped earrings from my brother’s girlfriend, an amber and silver cuff a former roommate brought back from Thailand for me, and another charm bracelet from my dad.

This one is beach themed: sea shells, starfish and such. I wish I remembered where it was from or when he gave it to me. But I don’t. It could have been 20 years ago or 5, I’m such a magpie with my bracelets. Today is maybe the first time ever that I’m wearing it. I doubt my dad would remember, either, if I could ask him. He’d probably laugh in his way and say “oh I don’t know, Pumps”… That’s what he called me. But maybe I’m wrong, maybe he would remember and now it’s all gone.

This amber and sterling cuff by theTreasuredHippie is significantly fancier then mine (I’m not even certain my cuff is *real* amber but the silver has the 925 imprint)

It’s $350, but maybe with this one, you can extract some DNA and clone a crew of dinosaurs. Just let me warn you away from the Raptors.
