A large statement piece of cognac Amber with a lovely internal structure which glints and changes enigmatically in the light. The Amber is hand set in silver with wave like embelishments on the sides. The pendant comes with an 18 inch silver chain 

Amber is the fossilised resin of ancient pine trees. Our Amber comes from the Baltic region and was formed during the Eocene geological period about 44 million years ago when the region was experiencing a semi-tropical climate. Sometimes as the resin seeped out of thepine trees insects, foliage and even water droplets were encapsulated inside the sticky substance. These pieces of Amber now give us a wonderful insight into life over 44 million years ago.

 It was also thought that the rays of the sun were captured in the Amber, what a lovely idea! Amber was also called The Gold of the North ,due to its enticing golden hues.
