Although not mineralized, amber is often considered a gemstone and has been included in many pieces of jewellery throughout the ages. Amber is actually fossil tree resin, which is the semi-solid amorphous, organic substance that is secreted in pockets and canals through the plant. It is not (as it is often assumed to be) tree sap.
Amber occurs in a range of different colours, varying from a whitish yellow through a pale lemon shade to a brown, almost black variety. More uncommon colours include red (or cherry) amber, green amber and even blue amber, a rare and sought after colour choice.
About 92% of the world's extractable amber is located in the Baltic Sean region. Most amber dates from between 35 to 40 million years ago. Some amber is considered to be up to 345 million years old.
Along the beaches of northern Poland, amber has long ridden the waves of the Baltic Sea, washing ashore in troves. Near modern-day Gdansk, the first ancient amber guilds (or artisans) formed to ply and perfect the glowing treasure thrown upon their shores. These ancient amber guilds have treated us with a science and reverence that over the centuries has produced the world's finest amber jewellery. That tradition continues to live in the pieces you'll discover at The Shopping Channel.
How to care for your Amber:
Clean your amber with lukewarm water and mild soap. Do not use chemical cleaners. Shine with a bit of vegetable oil. Store your jewellery separately so that it does not scratch, and put it on only after using your cosmetics and hair spray.
