Amber is one of the oldest jewellery materials known to mankind and was traded over long distances thousands of years ago. The fossilized tree resin traveled from the shores of the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean and beyond via the so-called Amber Road. A scarab made of Baltic amber was even found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Before the Second World War, Germany was the center of European amber jewellery production. The most important deposits of the fossil resin were in East Prussia, where amber was even mined in open-cast mines. The State Amber Manufactory (SBM), founded in Königsberg in 1926, was particularly innovative, with numerous renowned designers working there until its demise in 1945. This impressively large gold ring, which presents a clarified amber in the form of an oval cabochon, is also part of this tradition. The amber shows a fascinating inclusion pattern of socalled sun flint that brings its warm cognac colour to life. A simple gold setting makes the stone wearable as a ring and brings its natural beauty to the fore.
