Crafted by famed jewelry artisans, Roggio, this is a vintage (discontinued) pendant where nature is the shining star - with detailed shell, feather, maple leaf and spiral applied designs. This is a pendant as unique as you! Like the star you are....
The 16" necklace is made with sterling silver tube beads, gemstone rice beads and and silver filigree spheres.Amber isn't really a stone, of course. It's fossilized pine tree resin, and as such, it is an organic substance. There is a compound inside amber, Succinic Acid, which is secreted from the amber when worn against the skin and warmed. When absorbed into the body, it makes you feel good!
If you're not an esoteric "Healing Stones" believer, this is real science. Succinic Acid is an anti-inflammatory, which can ease aching muscles, arthritis, and other types of chronic pain. It also reduces anxiety! Advil and Prozac, move over for Amber!
The Baltics are home to the most wonderful deposits of amber (also known as succinite, of course!). The ancient pine forests over 45 million years ago secreted large amounts of resin as the climate warmed, and created an estimated 100,000 tons of amber.
Baltic Amber is highly prized over all other world localities.
