The large amber stones in this necklace shine in a wonderfully warm, caramel-orange colour. 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 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 was also created during this time. It features 34 hand-cut pearls arranged in a graduated pattern and culminating in a particularly large pearl. The necklace has been restrung and fitted with a high-quality gold clasp that was added later. The necklace is a wonderful piece of jewellery made from the "gold of the Baltic Sea" in a classic design.
