By the time you reach the end of this guide featuring some of the best pieces of amber jewellery for autumn, you may realise you’ve learnt a thing or two about this popular jewellery option.
Interesting Facts About Amber
Amber may be referred to as a semi-precious gemstone, but it’s not a mineral. It’s actually an organic compound made from ancient tree resin. You may have seen resin oozing from trees when a crack in a piece of bark appears. The fossilized resin that we know as amber has been buried underground for millions of years where it becomes compact and hardened over time. This stone-like material is mined in Europe in locations near the Baltic Sea.
One of the best-loved qualities of amber is its lightweight quality, which can float in saltwater. This is one of the main reasons why it’s so easy to extract. It’s also warm to the touch, making it a particularly comfortable option if you plan to wear large amber designs as statement pieces.
Amber may have gained popularity over recent years in the modern world but it’s not a new trend. The Ancient Greeks and Romans believed that pieces of amber were solidified tears from the gods and that they were sacred. While many amber for spiritual purposes, others love its universal appeal and the many styles of jewellery it can enhance.
Here are some of our favourite in-house jewellery designs at C W Sellors that celebrate the entrancing allure of amber.
