This necklace from the 1930s presents no fewer than 43 precious olives, as it consists of just as many antique, natural honey amber stones. Amber changes over time due to light, oxygen and environmental influences. It darkens, but very slowly. While freshly cut, opaque amber often appears shrill yellow, over time it takes on an inimitably warm colour reminiscent of forest honey or caramel - a shade that cannot be produced artificially. Each of the olives used here also has an individual structure, marbling and specific colouring that testify to its authenticity and age of around 95 years. The clear design language of the finely polished olives graduated is typical of the taste of the 1930s and a true classic in the field of necklaces. We have had the amber stones re-mounted and added a new old-style twist clasp. The necklace also comes with a certificate from the German Gemstone Research Foundation - genuine natural amber in its most beautiful form.

Amber is one of the oldest materials known to mankind. Even Stone Age hunters adorned themselves with the primeval tree resin that washed up on the beaches of the North and Baltic Seas. Early on, the stone reached the Mediterranean region via branched trade routes, where it was prized by the Egyptians and Greeks. Even in ancient Rome, the upper classes developed an insatiable hunger for amber: in the first century AD, Emperor Nero sent an expedition to the distant Baltic region to obtain the gold of the Baltic Sea.
