About the Item
Attractive natural oval graduated honey amber and 14K yellow gold necklace
20th Century
Composed of twenty nine graduted oval amber beads, 26mm to 12mm with a 14K yellow gold clasp. Rich honey color with natural inclusions and tone variations. Two of the amber beads in this necklace are of the type used in early amber necklace clasps. Lovely patina showing age appropriate wear, dating this necklace to the second half of the 20th century.
Amber has a naturally occuring electrical charge and is believed to posess the power of attraction. Warm to the touch and with a delicate aroma of the pine tree from which it hails, it is like holding a piece of sunlight in the palm of your hand. Amber necklaces are especially well suited to wear in the warm summer months as they are light and comfortable on the neck, emitting a lovely aroma when warmed by the skin and the sun.
Length: 21.75 inches
Amber beads: 26mm by 13mm to 12mm by 9mm

Amber is fossilized tree resin which has been prized as a gemstone since antiquity. It has been used as jewelry from 13,000 years ago with amber ornaments having been discovered in Mycenean tombs. Amber and amber extracts have been used medicinally in traditional Chinese medicine to "tranquilize the mind". Natural amber produces a distinct pinewood fragrance which when heated under the right conditions, produces oil of amber, likened to musk, an aphrodisiac. In ancient China it was customary to burn amber at large festivals and celebrations. Baltic Amber is particularly sought after for its beautiful honey yellow color.

Exceptional Large Natural Vermillion Color Faceted Antique Baltic Amber Necklace
Located in New York, NY
Superb, rare natural translucent faceted Baltic amber necklace of impressive size, gem quality and color reminiscent of fine rich cognac. This necklace has been tested for natural amber and has a high degree of electrical attraction. The reddish orange, vermillion color is scarcely seen in natural amber necklaces of this scale. Amber has long been associated with the power of attraction and excellent communication, as is the color red- making this necklace doubly desirable.
38.5 inches (97.8cm) long, 31mm by 14mm to 13mm by 9mm
Weight: 192.6 grams
Late 19th Century
Provenance: Estate of a US Ambassador
Composed of 67 hand faceted graduated amber beads measuring 31mm to 13mm, well matched, translucent, some with natural inclusions. Slightly varying in shape and faceting consistent with being hand made and soft from handling over time. Very minor abrasions observed under magnification. A necklace of this size and quality would most assuredly have been created for a member of the aristocracy.
A very similar necklace is illustrated in Louis Sherr Dubin's The History of Beads, from 30,000 BC to the Present, page 295 with the description: Faceted Baltic amber (succinite) said to have belonged to a member of the Russian imperial court. The amber was cut in the Baltic at Konigsberg. Center bead length, 3.1 cm. Collection Wolf Hunger, London
