Amber and Silver Jewelry: The Must Have Accessory for Her. Exquisite gifts at Realistic Prices

Amber and silver jewelry is more than just an enchanting adornment. When worn together they create a powerful talisman.

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.
The formation of amber.

The power of amber.

From relieving joint pain to preserving youth; the properties of amber are many.

Amber is believed to be a natural ioniser, in other words, this gemstone is thought to transform negative energy into positive energy, which is why it is often used to help combat the effects of depression by helping the user overcome any negative emotions. 

Amber has also been used for centuries to help alleviate conditions associated with the gall bladder, liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach. In addition, those who suffer with joint conditions may also find some relief from pain by wearing this gemstone.

The term 'window to the past' was coined to describe amber's ability to preserve. As a fossilised tree resin, amber is not a true stone in the strictest sense of the word.

Amber, window to the past.

Nevertheless during it's formation, which can be anything between ten and 40 million years, amber traps and preserves a range of insects, lizards and other species, offering some insight into the lineage of certain species and how they may have evolved. It is for this reason that this gemstone is also used to preserve youth and beauty as it is associated with the essence of life.

Not only is amber warm to the touch, but when rubbed with silk will attract lint and dust particles; it has magnetic properties, which is why it is thought to attract romantic love and general good fortune. Amber is also sometimes used by the Wiccan and Shamen traditions as a talisman for protection.

The many shades of amber.

Every piece of amber is truly unique.

Most people liken the colour of amber to that of honey, or the warm golden hues of the sun, and whilst it is true that many pieces of amber do indeed take on those characteristics, amber can also be found in a spectrum of colours.

 

From pale yellow to black, amber comes in may shades.

Did you know that there are more than 250 identified shades of amber? 

Every piece of amber is truly unique, colours range from pale lemon to black, but green, cherry and blue amber, which is rare, can also be found.

Amber and silver, a powerful combination.

Silver has been used for centuries to aid healing and help fight infection, in fact, prior to the wholesale use of antibiotics in the 1950's, silver foil was often used to treat external wounds. In recent times, the inclusion of silver in wound dressings has increased due to the emergence of bacteria which is resistant to antibiotics, such as MRSA.

Today, silver is used extensively by dentists in the form of implants and by manufacturers of medical applications such as breathing tubes and catheters. 

Amber and silver, a powerful combination.

The metal silver is also thought to promote healthy circulation, detoxify the body, balance the range of chemicals and hormones found within the human body and help stimulate the intellect. During a new or full moon, silver has the capacity to charge and energise other stones, such as amber; this is an extremely powerful duo.

Amber and silver necklaces.

Wearing an amber and silver necklace can help alleviate the discomfort associated with headaches and neck injuries.

A silver necklace embellished with amber is more than just an eye catching conversation starter. Although there's no doubt that the wearer will surely receive numerous compliments regarding such a beautiful piece, the necklace may also serve to alleviate the discomfort associated with neck injuries and headaches.

Amber is a timeless gemstone that will never date, and amber and silver pendants can be worn by women and girls of any age.

There are so many unique and exquisite designs available, from classic drop pendants to more modern beaded chains, amber and silver necklaces make an excellent gift for any occasion.

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.

DerdriuMarrinerOct 3, 2024

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?

HollieTDec 7, 2012

You're very welcome. :)

katiem2Dec 7, 2012

That's a great idea. Perhaps a jewelry making kit as a gift, great idea thanks Hollie. :)

HollieTDec 5, 2012

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.

katiem2Dec 5, 2012

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

HollieTDec 4, 2012

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. :)

HollieTDec 4, 2012

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. :)

JeanBakulaDec 4, 2012

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!

HollieTNov 18, 2012

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.

Sheri_OzNov 18, 2012

These are beautiful pieces of amber jewelry you display here and the page is so aesthetically set up - and informative too.

HollieTNov 18, 2012

Hi laurallan,

I have an amber ring and matching earrings and I love them. I keep hinting to the family that I'd like more pieces. Amber is really reasonably priced (although there are some more expensive pieces) but it does look quite expensive in my opinion.

lauryallanNov 18, 2012

Hi HollieT, I absolutely love amber and silver jewellery. I have a number of pieces similar to the drop earrings and the Sterling Silver Honey Amber Drop Bracelet. People are always asking me where I got them. The great thing is that they aren't as expensive as other stones can be, yet they still look stunning and each piece of amber is unique.

HollieTNov 5, 2012

Hi Dustytoes,

this amber jewelry is amazing isn't it? My favourite amber is cherry, I really want the Catherine the Great cherry amber necklace, but I also want the multi colour drop earrings, oh, i want it all.

dustytoesNov 5, 2012

Amber is not my favorite color, but this is some stunning jewelry.
