It is, in essence, fossilised resins secreted in the form of resin from primarily coniferous trees. Then it takes a mere 20 million years or so before it can be called amber. Only then can jewellers and applied artists set to work with the material. And that is precisely what has happened – for Auktionshaus Stuber's Hammerschlag now presents almost 100 lots under the heading Amber Jewellery.
Spend a few minutes with the catalogue and allow yourself to be captivated by the colours, the shifts and the shadings of this extraordinary material.
