T his Russian jewelry, combining amber, pearls and the delicate Bukhara cap reflect the lavishness of Russian court jewelry during the 18th and 19th centuries. At this time fresh water pearls could be found in the rivers of northern Russia and amber, also called “sun stone”, could be found on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Amber (fossilized tree resin) was thought to bring its wearer happiness and good health. No other amber from around the world has the properties of Baltic amber. Baltic amber is the fossilized resin or sap from extinct prehistoric coniferous pine trees which formed a huge forest 40 – 60 million years ago at the present location of the Baltic Sea. This lightest of organic gems sometimes has inclusions of entrapped flora, fauna, and insects and provides a connection with our past. Stone age worshipers, early Greeks, and Romans believed that wearing amber kept one healthy and young. Designed and Manufactured in the USA by Museum Reproductions, Inc. We support American Workers.
