Tunderstand the appeal of amber, you have to go back to the Stone Age — that’s how long humans have used amber to make jewelry! This remarkable organic gem began its life as syrupy tree resin that slowly hardened and fossilized over the course of tens of millions of years. As this amber hardened, it trapped once-living things to create fascinating time capsules.
“Amber is like a time capsule made and placed in the Earth by nature herself,” says David Federman, author of the “Modern Jeweler’s Consumer Guide to Colored Gemstones.” “It has helped paleontologists reconstruct life on Earth in its primal phases. More than 1,000 extinct species of insects have been identified in amber.” Sadly, there’s a finite amount of amber, and prices continue to rise as it becomes rarer and harder to find. But the folks here at Stauer have scoured the globe to unearth an untouched vein of amber in order to keep the price low.
