Hearthstone amulets were common in the First Age because they allowed Exalted to carry hearthstones innocuously and inconspicuously. Each hearthstone amulet contains a setting for a single hearthstone. A character wearing such an amulet against her skin gains the basic benefits of a hearthstone — that is, the ability to regain Essence more quickly. However, a character can commit one mote of Essence to the amulet, and doing so causes the amulet to resonate and activates the hearthstone. If the character removes the amulet, the benefit dissipates.

Hearthstone amulets are made in each of the five magical materials, an Exalted can pay the usual double attunement cost to gain the material bonus for a non-native Magical Material.

Orichalcum: Orichalcum amulets are most commonly starbursts in varying patterns, though other common shapes include leopard and eagle heads, or the shapes of the various caste marks. A Solar Exalt who is attuned to an orichalcum amulet set with a hearthstone regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.
Moonsilver: Most often, moonsilver amulets are designed in the “moonburst” form, a stylized moon-face that depicts both the full and crescent moon. Other common symbols are owl and wolf heads, inward-turning spirals and simple teardrops. A Lunar Exalt who is attuned to a moonsilver amulet set with a hearthstone regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.
Jade: Jade amulets from the First Age are typically carved in abstract elemental shapes or representations of the Elemental Dragons. Post-Contagion jade amulets are of much cruder workmanship and usually show Immaculate symbolism. A Dragon-Blood who is attuned to a jade amulet set with a hearthstone regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.
Starmetal: Starmetal amulets are very rare, as starmetal is not common enough to waste on items of little power. Those that exist are minimalistic, no more than drawn-wire cages for their hearthstones. A Sidereal Exalt who is attuned to a starmetal amulet set with a hearthstone regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.
Soulsteel: Because soulsteel was very rare until the modern Age, there are no known surviving amulets of First Age manufacture. Recent ones that have been seen are decorative or forged in death motifs (skulls, bones and the like). An Abyssal Exalt who is attuned to a soulsteel amulet set with a hearthstone regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.
