The Amber Story

The history of amber begins about 90 millions years ago in lush green forests in the region of modern day Northern Europe. Trees in these regions produced an aromatic resin, used for protection against woodpeckers, fungus and bark-eating insects. This resin would slowly cascade covering the bark of the tree entrapping organic debris and sometimes live insects along the way. Nearly 40 different species of trees produced this protective resin, accounting for the numerous colors of amber today.

Over millions of years, this golden resin produced by pre-historic trees accumulated in many layers in the soil below. With the onset of The Great Ice Age, these forests perished, the soil froze and the fossilization process began creating deposits of beautiful amber. After The Great Ice, melted glaciers flowed on top of the amber deposits, forming the Baltic and North Seas. Due to this geological occurrence, amber found its new home in the sea. The gem spent many thousands of years below 100 feet of sand at the sea bottom. After violent sea storms, various lumps of amber would separate and float among the waves, eventually reaching the shore to be discovered by man. The Aisti people were the first to pick up amber lumps along the Baltic shores 25,000 years ago. Aisti believe that amber was pieces of the Sun that had fallen down to the earth and cherished it as a gift from the heavens.

5Beautiful!
By M. Saunders
I bought this for my 24 year old daughter for Christmas. She's picky about her jewelry, but she loves this pendant. It is beautifully crafted and is high quality. It is a nice size that stands out but also is not gaudy. The various colors of amber complement each other. I can see this pendant becoming a family heirloom.

5Timeless Beauty
By PhD in Criticism
All of the ambers are interesting, but to have 3 together is mesmerizing. This pendant is exquisite in deisgn; it seems to move gracefully. It is the perfect balance of color and silver threads; neither overwhelms the other. Too many pieces are bulky and angular. For amber, this softness of deign works best for me!
The price was very reasonable, and buying from the Amazon collection of course gives you confidence in the quality of the materials.
