Amber pendant

A 44 x 10 mm pendant crafted from high-purity 950 silver, crowned by a spectacular 28 x 10 mm pear-shaped polished amber. This amber is a plant resin, displaying an incredible golden hue with natural ochre markings. The amber is held in place by a cap-shaped chain loop, which allows its remarkable translucency to shine through.

Amber is a plant resin. The oldest recovered amber dates back to the Late Carboniferous period (320 million years old). Amber is not a mineral but an organic product. It is the fossilized resin of ancient trees that lived some 25 to 50 million years ago, but some pieces that have been found can be as old as 130 million years or more.
