Description
Our graceful Butterscotch Amber Earrings are a traditional example of Baltic amber jewelry. Outlined in a curving sterling silver setting, the smooth, almond-shaped cabochons have a sweet warmth that makes them easy to wear. Handcrafted in Poland, where Baltic amber drop earrings are a traditional and timeless gift. Variations may occur due to the natural materials used.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
Museum Story
Prized since the Stone Age, amber—especially 40,000-50,000 year-old Baltic amber—is an organic gem that is appreciated for its naturally glowing translucence. Amber's timeless appeal is evidenced by the number and variety of amber jewelry pieces curated by our National Museums of Natural History.
