About the Item

Striking, large Scandinavian Modernist natural transluscent madiera amber and substantial sterling silver pendant necklace 20th Century This piece feels more like an art object with its heavy sculptural sterling silver setting enclosing a superb amber gem of a rich, deep madiera color with intriguing natural inclusions suspended on a long dramatic sterling silver curb link chain. The color of the amber reads red-burgundy when held up to the light and a mysterious black against a background. When worn and catches the light, the red color is stunning. Length: 38 inches Length of pendant: 4.19 inches Width: 1.5 inches Condition: Very Good Marks: 925 for sterling silver on the back of the pendant, chain - 925, Italy Amber has been cherished as a gemstone since antiquity and has been used in jewelry from 13,000 years ago. Natural amber has a lovely, delicate pinewood fragrance which, when heated, produces oil of amber, likened to musk, an aphrodisiac. It is associated with the powers of attraction and the benefits of good communication. The gem in its natural form has an electrical charge when rubbed, futhering the power of attraction theory. In Buddhist practice, amber serves as a reminder to practice kindly communication.
