It's hardly surprising that the Lithuanians describe amber as 'sunshine', ancient societies also reconised the beauty and warmth of this distinctive gem. In fact, the ancient Greeks coined the term elektron when describing amber, which translated means 'formed by the sun'. This exceptional crystal has had a plethora of uses and applications throughout the centuries; from folk medicine to currency; good luck charms to perfume.
When amber 'the window of the past' meets silver ' the mirror to the soul' not only is a beautiful piece of jewelry created; but a powerful talisman is born.

Hi DerdriuMarriner!
I'm not sure about white gold but Platinum is used in medical applications and medical equipment too. I think, albeit there is no evidence, that the process of silver forming, over tens of thousands of years, is thought to charge it, and like crystals that form over millions of years is imbued with medicinal benefits.
All the silver benefits indicated above impress me.
Other metals such as platinum and white gold impress me.
Is it possible that their coloring indicates the same benefits or is it silver being silver, not being a white metal, that initiates all the benefits that it impels?
You're very welcome. :)
That's a great idea. Perhaps a jewelry making kit as a gift, great idea thanks Hollie. :)
Hi katie,
I think amber's gorgeous and it's the other benefits too. Cherry amber's my absolute favourite though- I would so love the cherry amber Catherine the Great necklace. Perhaps one day your daughter could use the amber pieces and have some jewelry made from it.
Amber is beautiful. My oldest daughter started collecting rocks and stones when she was just a tot she now has an extensive collection with a few great amber pieces. Amber is beautiful and makes for amazing jewelry. :)K
Hi Darius,
Thank you, I agree amber jewelry is not only beautiful, but trendy too. Any one of age can wear this jewelry and it looks good. :)
Hi Jean,
I think that's what is so fascinating about amber, yes it's beautiful to look at, but there are lots of people like yourself who say they receive benefits when they wear it. I love these pieces too, When my son and daughter ask me what I want for Christmas, I keep showing them this page of amber jewelry. :)
You have some lovely pieces on here! I have an amber necklace, bracelet and earring set. I always wear the necklace when I have a sore throat, and I swear it h elps!
Hi Sheri,
Thank you, I wanted to give a little background about amber because I find it quite fascinating. I agree, these pieces are lovely arn't they. I imagine many women would be pretty pleased if they to be given any one of these pieces.
