AMBER - Baltic Encapsulated Winged Creature




One fine and handsome Baltic amber chunk, polished and wrapped in ribbons of 12 carat 20 gauge gold wire and completed simply with doubled 2mm leather, a vintage Bakelite button for the clasp and a 8mm gold filled bead.

The amber features a small winged creature, only the wing is visible. The natural amber chunk measures 1 3/4" wide and 10mm to 18mm thick and 30mm tall.

The neck length is a choker style 13".

This amber piece was finished in 1998, but because I have a tendency to horde and hygrade pieces some of my stones rarely see the light of day.

Amber represents prosperity, many show people carry a piece in their cash boxes for good luck. Also, used for your third eye and crown chakra.
