This unique freeform polished Baltic Amber was brought to me, and I was commissioned to create a pendant. The client normally prefers copper wire for energy flow but suggested the Amber deserved at least gold fill wire (gold-filled for strength as opposed to gold).
The Baltic Amber was wrapped in a way not to hide any part
of the Amber piece and to allow its natural beauty to be framed.
Gold-filled wire is said to bring success, happiness and
understanding. It is said to assist in making us attuned with all (including
people) that surrounds us while Baltic Amber is associated with desire,
sensuality and romantic tenderness. It is said that it was used to find lasting
love.
When Amber is worn against the skin, the nugget or bead is
naturally warmed by our body and a small amounts of healing oils (succinic
acid) is released and absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. Succinic
acid is known to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and is used as an
analgesic for pain. Baltic Amber is noted as assisting with varicose vein and
increasing blood circulation.
For a little technical information, Baltic Amber is a
fossilized tree resin that is used in the same manner as any crystal, mineral
or stone in jewellery creation. Baltic Amber’s has a hardness ranging from 2 to
2.5 on the Mohs scale.
