An amber necklace is particularly beautiful when the individual natural amber stones have inclusions that bear witness to life from prehistoric times. Parts of plants, sometimes even small animals, can be enclosed in amber and preserved for thousands of years. For example, the 77 muggle-cut amber stones in this vintage necklace also show inclusions that presumably originate from mossy plants. In addition, we see so-called "solar fissures", stress cracks that were created when the amber was boiled clear and are often mistaken for inclusions. The 80 cm long necklace is knotted and is a wonderful piece of jewelry made from the gold of the Baltic Sea. A gold clasp holds the amber securely in place. Genuine natural amber with beautiful coloring and structure! The amber came to us here in Berlin.

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, amber 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 a hunger for amber: Emperor Nero sent an expedition to the distant Baltic in the first century AD to get his hands on the gold of the Baltic.
