For millions of years, dinosaurs wandered the Earth oblivious to the fate they would meet. While the dinosaurs may no longer be with us, amber, the organic gemstone that captures the world’s history is still here. Because of its unique ability to preserve, amber has been essential to building our understanding of prehistoric life. “Amber is like a time capsule made and placed in the Earth by nature herself,” reads the Consumer Guide to Colored Gemstones. “It has helped paleontologists reconstruct life on Earth in its early phases. More than 1,000 extinct species have been identified in amber.”
But this time capsule is amazingly beautiful, offering a gorgeous deep orange color not found in other gemstones. The pendant features 4 total carats of amber in yellow gold-finished .925 sterling silver setting featuring a classic rope bezel.
I find it awe inspiring that you can wear the history of the earth around your neck so beautifully.
