Product detailed description
The Octopus Guide: there is always more than one way forward
The octopus does not rely on strength alone. It observes, adapts to its surroundings and finds solutions where others might not think to look.
In the Guides Collection, the octopus represents ingenuity, adaptability and the courage to change direction when the original plan no longer works. It is a reminder that changing your approach does not mean giving up on where you want to go. Sometimes, it simply means finding a better way.
Natural Baltic amber brings warmth and light to the piece, while the sterling silver octopus gives it a playful and distinctive character. Every piece of amber has its own colour, pattern and natural details, making each jewel slightly different.
The Octopus Guide can become a personal reminder for times of decision, change or uncertainty — when the answer may not be to push harder, but to look at the situation from another angle.
The Octopus truth:
If one way forward is closed, there may be another.
Material:
- Natural Baltic amber
- Sterling Silver Ag 925/1000
If you have the pendant as a gift, you don't have to worry about the gift wrapping anymore.

What is amber
Baltic amber, also called succinite, comes from various species of the now extinct conifer Pinus succinifera. There are estimated to be up to around 350 species of conifer. Baltic amber has the highest proportion of succinic acid of all the species. It accounts for up to 8 % of its total weight. It is also to succinic acid that the health benefits of amber are attributed. It is also supposed to calm the mind and promote the ability to concentrate.
The richest deposits are estimated to be in the Kaliningrad region, as well as in northern Poland, Lithuania and along the Baltic coast. Its age is estimated at approximately 28 to 54 million years. It is older than the Baltic Sea itself.
Baltic amber tends to be transparent, semi-transparent or completely opaque under a yellow-brown layer of oxidised crust, called milky. It offers a wide range of colours, from snow-white to beige, lemon yellow, honey, orange, red and brown. The Polish scientist Adam Chetnik, in his Little Dictionary of Amber Varieties, defined around 200 variations.
