Mixed Necklace

I had a brief, but intense fling with turquoise about a year ago... I hope to find the time to make & design more pieces like this soon.

Mixed Amber Blossom

Mixed Amber Blossom

These images are just some things that caught my eye & I didn't want them to sink into oblivion, they're too beautiful. Most are long gone, but a few are still available in our catalog, viewable at http://www.amberjewelry.com/default.aspx

The names aren't necesarily correct if you end up searching on a term, I'm just adding them on the fly.


About the Mixed Amber Blossom:

We had a handful of these & hope to bring back more this year. A hair tie made of mixed amber petals with rough amber skin or bark still showing in places. A great example of what can happen when the designer "listens" to the amber...

Lady Luck

I was sitting across the table from my boyfriend in a diner, wearing these. He kept staring at me & finally I said, "Um. What are you looking at?" He smiled & said, "Your earrings are very suggestive..." I said, "Are you taking me to Las Vegas?..."
:) This seriously happened, but I didn't get to go to Vegas (at least not yet!). We just got these in, I've wanted them forever.

Insect Inclusion

Insect Inclusion

This is in many ways, a photo of the exact piece that led Andzia to start seriously collecting amber. It is in her personal collection & I will have to unearth it to reshoot a photo. You can just see the long legs of what looks like a mosquito & the wings here- She intended to have this made into a piece of jewelry, but never did... almost a perfect oval...

Green & Mat Cuff

Green & Mat Cuff

I love it when pieces are designed around the amber like this one clearly is, & not the other way around- when amber is just an afterthought to a setting. This is one of our highest criteria when we go hunting...

Coral Baroque Cuff

Coral Baroque Cuff

Wonderful, intensely red coral cuff paired with marbled mat amber cabochons. Romantic, wild color- this was a seriously unforgettable design. We hope to find more mixed gemstone pieces like this, but you'll understand if we say amber is still our first love, right?

Coastal Dune Amber Bead Bracelet

Coastal Dune Amber Bead Bracelet

This delivery, blogged about in "The Case of the Missing Amber Necklaces" was so fraught with anxiety & complications that when they finally arrived, I was so wiped out from the holiday season that it was all I could do to get these up on the site. As a result, it strikes me that in the descriptions- the absolute awe I felt at looking at these may have been overlooked because I was scrambling to describe them technically.

Even as a small child, I was grateful that there were museums because I felt like they kept all of "our" things safe. That's how I feel about these as images & as objects, somehow looking at them is deeply nourishing. They're ridiculous, over-the-top beauty- what is it in the human spirit (and in nature) that just craves this kind of splurge, this kind of excess?

Cherry Amber Ring

Cherry Amber Ring

"Rare red amber" from Latvia, perhaps not really cherry as much as a rootbeer color. I always thought there was something a bit wicked about this ring- I think it was up on the site for exactly two days, then it was gone.

Champagne, anyone?

Champagne, anyone?

A bit of the bubbly, here. Was it Oscar Wilde who said, "I have simple taste- only the best will do."

Cat's Eye

Cat's Eye

Do we need words for this one? Well, okay. Green Amber is inconsistent, let's say. This to me is a perfect piece, intense, even, deep green with lovely inclusions.
