Natural Amber Infinity Necklace / Silver and Amber Pendant / Baltic Amber Jewellery

This unique and fantastic infinity pendant is set with two moving pieces of amber.

Although amber is a popular gemstone, it isn't actually a stone at all. Amber is fossilized tree resin that often contains bits of plants and insects that have been values for its colour and natural beauty since Neolithic times. The inclusions of preserved remains, coupled with amber’s warm feel, may have stimulated the beginnings of amber symbolism.

Cultures from all over the world have associated amber with spirits of the natural world and The Sun. Amber’s bright, sunshine colors also enhanced this connection. The Ancient Greek historian Nicias believed amber to be congealed droplets of sweat formed on the Earth as The Sun set beneath the waves. Other ancient writers depicted these “droplets” of fossilized sap as the tears of gods or heroes on various quests. Another quality, frictional electricity, may have reinforced the connection between magic and amber symbolism. If you rub amber against wool or silk it becomes electrically charged. In fact, the Greek word for amber, elektron, has given us the words electron and electricity.

This infinity pendant is made of sterling silver and has been hallmarked for metal purity.

You will find the 925 hallmark by the hidden bail.

The pendant is on a strong sterling silver box chain that is 18 inches long.

The amber pieces move and it has such a calming tactile feel to this pendant. It's the most elegant fidget spinner that I have ever seen.

You will get compliments on this piece for sure. And remember amber can become electrically charges - so who knows, when wearing it, it might even spark something :)
