Amber stones in fine jewellery
Amber stones are made from fossilised resin and the natural material is then shaped into hearts, ovals and spheres for wearing on earrings. The orange hue ideal for adding a pop of colour to any look and can be mixed and matched with a range of outfits.
Orange amber is the most common, but colours can vary to the very rare blue and green ambers.
The most sought-after amber comes from the Baltic region, so look out for the origin of any amber earrings. They are known for clarity and transparency but have fascinating inclusions due to their beginnings as a liquid form.
Because they are formed from tree resin and not sap, the liquid would drip down from the trees and perfectly preserve anything in its path. For this reason, amber is often famed for preserving insects, leaves and even scorpions.
Pairing amber with silver enhances its colour and lets it stand out against the more subtle silver tones.
Because of its immense popularity, most modern amber is fake, or is actually copal, a younger stone created in the same natural way as amber. It is easier to find genuine amber when searching for vintage jewellery.
Because amber is naturally light in weight, it is ideal for drop and dangling earrings as the earrings will not weigh down the ears and cause discomfort.
The drops and pendants come in a range of different designs to suit personal style, from simple amber pendants to original and unusual designs.
