Hard to Resist Amber Jewellery!


‘Organic’ is the buzz word in today’s time! The world is waking up to a healthier way of living and is becoming environmentally conscious. So whether, it is organic food, organic clothes, organic jewellery or other accessories, everything is in vogue. Going the organic way ensures that you get quality products without harming any living being or the environment. If you are a jewellery lover and the ‘organic’ bug has bitten you then here is good news for you. Amber jewellery is the most organic form of jewellery available in the market.

Out of the many gemstones found in nature, amber is the organic one. It is naturally found substance which is formed over a period of time from the tree resin. The formation of amber starts in a liquid form and gradually hardens and takes shape of a stone which is later used to make jewellery. It is most commonly available in the golden orange hue but the rarer varieties such as translucent amber or with a bluish tinge is also much desired.

This beautiful substance is found in several parts of the world. But specifically in the Baltic regions around Russia and Poland, roughly 80% of the amber in the world is to be found.
A substantial produce of amber also comes from countries such as Nigeria, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

Amber in the form jewellery can be made with gold or silver or any other metal of your choice. It complements most of the precious and semi-precious metals, which makes it the most practical piece of accessory to add to your jewellery collection. This jewellery looks best in the form of earrings, rings, and bracelets. In fact amber bracelets are since long used for healing purposes due to the mystical magnetic properties.

No wonder, celebrities like Celine Dion, Sharon Stone and Erica Dasher have been spotted wearing amber jewellery on numerous occasions!
