The large amber stones in this necklace shine in a wonderfully warm, caramel-orange color. This is genuine natural amber, cut in the classic olive shape. Its cloudy structure captivates the eye and allows the mind to wander to the pine forests of prehistoric times, from whose fossil resin the amber was once formed millions of years ago. Before the Second World War, Germany was the center of European amber production. The former East Prussia was home to the most important deposits of fossilized tree resin; amber was even mined here in open-cast mines. The State Amber Manufactory (SBM), founded in Königsberg in 1926, was particularly innovative, with renowned designers working there until its closure in 1945. This original necklace also comes from this environment. It features forty-seven hand-cut pearls arranged in a graduated pattern and culminating in a particularly large pearl. The necklace is restrung and fitted with a practical screw clasp. The necklace is a wonderful piece of jewelry made from the "gold of the Baltic Sea" in a classic design.

Amber is one of the oldest jewelry materials known to mankind and was traded over long distances thousands of years ago. The stone made its way from the shores of the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean via the so-called Amber Road, from where it even reached Egypt. A scarab made of amber was found in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
