Amber is thought to bring 'good luck'. Amber is meant to be worn, never ingested or chewed. Never leave children unattended around amber jewelry. Baltic Amber is a fossilized tree resin & comes in a variety of colours and shapes.
Baltic Amber has been used for thousands of years as a healing agent, jewelry and decoration. Baltic Amber contains 3-8% succinic acid, which is believed to help with pain while wearing it. Succinic acid is a natural analgesic and healing agent.
Sizing: Our amber pieces are hand made by our team of artisans in Lithuania. All sizes are approximate and have up to a 1 inch variance with necklaces and 1/2 inch variance with bracelets. They all have smooth rounded edges and have many variations within their own category - no two beads are alike (colour, shape and size)!
All of our amber is raw amber, in its natural state. When you see us describe a necklace or bracelet as 'raw', it means that it has a matte finish. The rest of our amber has been polished to shine by tumbling in a barrel with wood chips! If you purchase a raw piece, it will end up looking polished over time.
