Amber necklace

This pendant features a large Baltic Amber cabochon, wrapped in twisted silver with a floral detail at the bottom. 

The speckles inside are called sun spangles, and each stone has a unique set of inclusions. They look like flakes but they are actually flattened bubbles- amber is a fossil of prehistoric tree resin, which often captured air bubbles as it slid down a tree 40 million years ago. These are high quality specimens, honey colored and very clear. The reflective silver behind them almost makes them glow! 

Pendant size: 18mm across, 30mm tall

Chain length: 18 inches

Materials

This necklace is made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
