Baltic Amber & Sterling Silver Brooch Pin, Handmade Statement Brooch
Top quality gorgeous hand polished and set in silver and Natural Baltic Amber Brooch.
Amber is a fossilised tree resin dating back around 40-60 million years ago. The origin trees that oozed amber resin are long extinct, leaving behind a history of natural beauty.
Found along the shores of the Baltic Coast, Amber in its complete natural form, is rock-like and usually opaque in colour. Most commonly amber is associated with its well know yellow-orange-brown cognac hues. However, there are numerous different shades, from a brittle white colour through to citrus yellow, brown and even black. Other uncommon colours include cherry red amber, green amber and even blue amber - which is a rare and highly sought Dominican Amber.
The colour, clarity and detail of this piece is as a result of exposing the natural fossil element to high temperatures, pressures and polishing. Bringing out the natural beauty of the gemstone in the same way that a diamond receives a faceted cut. Heating of the amber stone results in an effect of tiny internal explosions, creating unique organic patterns, giving each piece a truly individual character.
