Amber Jewelry and Healing Gemstones
Amber jewelry, especially the
traditional amber necklace of Eastern Europe, has a long history of
being part of folkloric attire. Many people see the dancers with
dozens of strands of amber beads and believe that that is what amber
jewelry is still all about - lots of beads. That is not really
the case, although traditional styles are certainly
abundant, there are many new designers who feature amber in
contemporary sterling silver earrings and add it to turquoise jewelry
to give a contrast.
There are also many designers who use gemstone mixes with amethyst and amber to make not only beautiful and decorative jewelry but pieces that are magical or spiritual for those who believe in their healing powers. For many the energy of a piece of jewelry containing certain stones can be a talisman or a amulet or a charm - and this is very true of amber in many parts of the world. It is one reason why so many different regions have prayer beads that are made from this beautiful natural material.
Designer Amber Jewelry
Amber silver jewelry is truly amazing these days. Large cuff bracelets with an amber cabochon or clusters of pearls and amber or amber bracelet and bangle designs that have nothing to do with traditional amber beads or healing amulets or charms. There are amber jewelry design specialists who create unique and one of a kind amber pieces and sell them online through wholesale fashion jewelry outlets. There are also some crystal jewelry experts who masterfully recreate amber styles in glass or ceramic and then add small pieces of amber to accent the other pieces. Handcrafted jewelry, especially bead jewelry is using more and more amber. Also amber pendant creations are emerging with modern designs. Fashion earrings are incorporating amber to add a bit or genuine stone to chandelier earrings and vintage costume jewelry is using amber to give their pieces an aged look.
Amber Brooches
Amber brooches used to be more popular long ago, but with the return of all things vintage, the brooch has also returned, perhaps not to hold high colors around our necks, but to pin of suits and coats or to add to hairdos. Antique gemstone jewelry is fun to add to modern clothing and adds a touch of individuality, especially when it has something as unique as amber.
