Amber jewelry - genuine amber from the Baltic Sea
Warm-toned amber - joy and energy
The warm hues of amber jewelry have delighted for thousands of years. Amber has been used to make necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings since the time of the Roman Empire.
Amber is the hardened resin of trees that grew millions of years ago. Most of the world's amber is sourced from the Baltic Sea region, although amber can be found on all continents. Genuine amber is lighter than seawater and is also flammable. Amber typically contains inclusions such as air bubbles, water droplets, debris, and sometimes even insects. Amber is quite soft, so handle the jewelry with care. Also, avoid strong chemicals when cleaning amber.
Amber jewelry is translucent and comes in many different shades. Baltic amber typically has warm golden-yellow and brownish hues. Sunlight darkens light amber more towards brown. Dark reddish amber jewelry is called cherry amber.
