Alongside bone and wood, amber is one of the oldest artistic materials known to mankind. The fossilized tree resin, which was washed up on the beaches of the Baltic Sea, was already widely traded in ancient times. It can even be found in the tombs of the pharaohs. The Greeks called amber ἤλεκτρον (électron) after its ability to attract bird feathers or hair after being rubbed against dry fur. This is how electricity got its name. Its incomparably warm colour and great beauty have lost none of their effect over the millennia and even in the german version Fred Flintstone affectionately calls his Wilma "my amber" in the well-known cartoon series. This necklace from the 1930s is a sought-after treasure made from this material. Over time, its natural material has taken on a colour that cannot be produced artificially. The large olives in this necklace have an inimitable warm colour that is reminiscent of summer evening light. Each of the olives has an individual and very unique structure and colouring that testify to its authenticity. Today, as then, the necklace is a wonderful piece of jewellery made from the "gold of the Baltic Sea", which is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain today. The clear design language of the finely polished olives is typical of the 1930s. Genuine natural amber in its most beautiful form!
