Forever Amber-What A Beautiful Women's Amber Bracelet

This amber women's bracelet has attracted my attention due to a number of factors - its simplicity of line, its stunning colours (green and amber yellow) plus the fascinating flower arrangement inside the body of the amber bracelet. Looking at this item has made me want to find out more about this fascinating material, where it comes from, and what properties it is said to have.

Amber is technically not a gemstone, but is in fact resin from prehistoric trees, that has become fossilized over the course of millions of years. We usually associate amber with the golden yellow colour of the same name, but it also occurs in other colours such as milky white, reddish-orange, green, black and even (although very rarely) violet.

This amber bracelet, which is green in colour, with a hint of the traditional amber yellow inside, is made from reconstructed Baltic Amber, which is formed using abietic resin (a natural substance also derived from tree resin), which has been subjected to high temperatures and compressed under high pressure.  The resulting translucentwomen’s bracelet, with its glossy finish, is a lovely high class piece of jewellery, which you will want to wear again and again.

Amber has always been a precious commodity, and has been credited with some surprising properties.  Early doctors prescribed it for a number of different ailments including headaches, heart and joint problems, and it was carried by travellers for protection in ancient times, so wearing an amber bracelet would have been seen as a prudent thing to do, as well as being very decorative To early Christians, amber signified the presence of the Lord, and in the Far East, amber is a symbol of courage.  Ancient Egyptians put some amber into the burial casket of a loved one to ensure the body would forever remain whole.

This women's amber bracelet possesses another property of natural amber, which is to contain an inclusion.  Natural amber often contains insects or plants, but this amber bracelet contains something much prettier, a beautiful floral arrangement, which shines with a yellow glow through the green body of the women's bracelet, prevents it from looking too plain, and is certain to invite admiration.  This amber bracelet is a fairly substantial piece of jewellery, and is eminently suitable for day wear – it would look equally as good with a formal business suit, as it would with casual clothes such as jeans and a chunky sweater.  Alternatively, the amber bracelet is elegant and sophisticated looking enough to wear in the evening.  It will certainly add a splash of colour to the plainest of evening clothes.

Amber jewellery is widely recognised in the fashion world for its gorgeous colour, especially when paired with sterling silver, and this amber bracelet is no exception.  It combines classical and natural beauty elements, a lovely warm colour, and with so many properties attributed to amber (many more than most other gemstones), this amber bracelet would grace the wrist of any woman.
