Why Amber Jewellery is Making a Comeback in 2025

Amber is a gemstone with a rich history that we can trace back thousands of years. The ancient Greeks believed amber was formed by the sun’s tears, while Asian cultures used it to symbolise the souls of tigers. Just like the evil eye, amber has been adopted by different cultures and generations as a protective talisman – but we can also trace the popularity of amber in fashion trends.  

Whether you’re a fan of timeless clothing or have curated an aesthetic, unique jewellery like natural amber bracelets is a way to incorporate a little of your personality into every outfit. Elevate your capsule closet by investing in sterling silver and gold-plated elegant jewellery

Unique Jewellery and Amber as a Fashion Trend

Do you know that when you wear a natural amber necklace you’re continuing a tradition that dates back to the Stone Age? Amber is one of the oldest gemstones, beloved by early civilizations not just as a fashion trend but as a gemstone with healing and protective properties. 

As a fashion trend, amber has found a niche for itself within bohemian and vintage-inspired fashion. Gold and amber earrings are the perfect match for a flowy maxi skirt or a crochet summer dress. 

What makes amber jewellery suitable for everyday fashion is its versatility. It’s gone from being a protective ambulant to a luxury status symbol to a sustainable jewellery staple. Every generation has put its own twist on amber gemstones. At Treestem, we’re reinventing amber as a fashion staple with unique jewellery designs that incorporate timeless silhouettes with modern trends. 

Why Amber Jewellery is Poised to Make a Comeback 

The jewellery industry is undergoing a major change. Lab-grown diamonds are beginning to rival the popularity of natural diamonds with everyday consumers increasingly searching for more sustainable and eco-friendly jewellery

We predict that amber jewellery is set for a comeback in 2025 as a natural and renewable resource that is biodegradable. Most Baltic amber is sustainably harvested from the Baltic Sea by trained teams with little to no environmental pollution created. If you’re embracing sustainable jewellery in 2025, definitely consider some gold and amber earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. 

Amber in Fashion | Colour Theory 101

Colour theory is having a major fashion moment – helping to bring amber back into the mainstream. It’s almost impossible to scroll through TikTok without seeing an influencer talking about colour analysis appointments and the power of incorporating the right colours into your closet. 

Amber is a vibrant colour that generates warmth, a subtle way to add a bold feel to your outfit. If your closet is full of deep blues, greens, or earthy tones, silver and amber jewellery will slot right into your everyday rotation. 

Psychologically, amber is thought to promote feelings of well-being and happiness. Amber is perfect for cosy winter outfits and can help your closet transition seamlessly into spring and summer.

Hi there, my name is Tristan and I’m the owner and founder of Treestem Fashion!

I've been fascinated by jewellery from a young age, loving how basic materials can be transformed into beautiful pieces. One of my favourite colours is orange, which is why I'm drawn to Baltic Amber as the main gemstone used in my collection.

The warmth and richness of amber resonate with me, reflecting both my personal taste and the unique style of my collection.
