Description

This necklace from the 1930s presents as many as 53 sought-after treasures, as it consists of just as many antique natural honey amber stones. Amber changes due to light, oxygen and environmental influences. It darkens, but quite slowly. While freshly cut, opaque amber often appears bright yellow, time gives it an inimitable warm colour reminiscent of forest honey or caramel. It is a colouration that cannot be produced artificially. Each of the large olives used here has an individual and unique structure and specific colouration, which testifies to its authenticity and age of around 90 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 attached a magnetic clasp made of gold-plated silver, which makes it easy to put on. Genuine amber from Königsberg in its most beautiful form.

There are many myths surrounding the origin of amber. One of the most beautiful stories comes from the ancient Greeks, who also came surprisingly close to the truth with their tale. It is said that the Heliades, the daughters of the sun god Helios, hitched their brother Phaeton to their father's magnificent sun chariot without permission. Phaeton, eager to steer the chariot across the sky, overestimated his strength and tragically crashed. After his death, the sisters were turned into poplars as a punishment or out of pity, as they mourned their brother's death inconsolably. Their golden tears became amber.
