Amber is one of the oldest jewellery materials known to mankind and was traded over long distances already thousands of years ago. The fossilized tree resin reached the Mediterranean from the coasts of the Baltic Sea via the so-called Amber Road - and beyond: a scarab made of Baltic amber was even found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Until the Second World War, Germany was the center of European amber jewellery production. The most important deposits were in what was then East Prussia, where amber was even mined in open-cast mines. Particularly noteworthy is the State Amber Manufactory (SBM) founded in Königsberg in 1926, which was considered an innovative center until its end in 1945 and attracted many renowned designers. This impressively large ring is also part of this tradition. It features a clear, egg-shaped amber cabochon in a strong cognac tone. Fine sunbursts - natural light reflections inside the stone - enliven its warm color and lend it depth and character. The open setting in 14-karat gold gives the piece a light appearance and makes the amber wearable as a ring.
