The Amber Story
Multicolor Amber Collection: This collection became very popular in 1995 when designers realized the potential of combining different colors of amber from all over the world. Amber comes in almost 300 colors and the multicolor collection is an excellent way to emphasize it. Set against the fluid lines in sterling silver, green, honey and lemon amber combine to yield a distinctly modern and balanced look.
The history of amber begins about 90 million years ago in lush green forests in the region of modern day Northern Europe. Trees in these regions produced an aromatic resin, used for protection against woodpeckers, fungus and bark-eating insects. This resin would slowly cascade covering the bark of the tree entrapping organic debris and sometimes live insects along the way. Nearly 40 different species of trees produced this protective resin, accounting for the numerous colors of amber today.
Over millions of years, this golden resin produced by pre-historic trees accumulated in many layers in the soil below. With the onset of The Great Ice Age, these forests perished, the soil froze and the fossilization process began creating deposits of beautiful amber. After The Great Ice, melted glaciers flowed on top of the amber deposits, forming the Baltic and North Seas. Due to this geological occurrence, amber found its new home in the sea. The gem spent many thousands of years below 100 feet of sand at the sea bottom. After violent sea storms, various lumps of amber would separate and float among the waves, eventually reaching the shore to be discovered by man. The Aisti people were the first to pick up amber lumps along the Baltic shores 25,000 years ago. Aisti believe that amber was pieces of the Sun that had fallen down to the earth and cherished it as a gift from the heavens.

I had looked at earrings like this for awhile (same style, same stones), but they were always more than I wanted to pay, so during one of Amazon's great sale deals I thought my sister might likes these .... she loved them, maybe one of the best gifts I have ever given her. Nicely made, good color.

Amber is a natural, beautiful by-product of Mother Nature's handiwork. These earrings are a lovely setting for three soft, muted shades of amber and they compliment almost any outfit. They are simple, yet elegant and my wife loves the fact that any of her other amber accessories will blend so well with them. And...the price is right !
