Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
Amber, the “gold of the Baltic Sea,” has been a popular material for jewellery since the Stone Age. The wide range of its consistently warm hues and its ease of working have given rise to wonderful pieces of jewellery, each one unique. This necklace consists of 63 genuine pieces of amber, graduated in size to form an impressive necklace. Each piece of amber is faceted by hand, allowing the warm cognac tone of this natural material to shine through beautifully. This cut is a variation of the so-called Königsberg cut and was a specialty of the amber cutters in the Bay of Königsberg. The amber has been clarified, creating beautiful sun flecks inside that reveal an interesting pattern of inclusions. We discovered this necklace here in Berlin. It was created in the first half of the 20th century; the exact date cannot be determined, as necklaces like this remained popular in a similar style for a long time. The colour of the amber varies across different shades of forest honey, and the necklace is individually knotted.
