Cognac Amber Earrings

Amber is a rare and unusual substance; it is a fossilized tree resin or sap. Ancient forests were believed to be very dense and only the strongest trees would survive. If a tree were wounded it would produce healing resin or sap in great quantities. The pinus succinfera or Amber Pine as it was more commonly called was one of these trees. Through the passage of time this sap hardened and fossilized. Amber may be anywhere from 1 million years old to 200 million years old; however, most amber today is 30 million to 60 million years old.

Amber may be found in several different colours, including creamy white-yellows (butterscotch), green, lemon (yellow), cherry (red), and orange/ browns called cognac. Amber experts estimate there are over 200 subtle shades of amber. Amber may be found with pine needles, leaves and sunspangles (inclusions caused by heat that resemble fish scales). On occasion, amber is found with insects preserved inside.

Exposure to water and other chemicals, such as shampoos or perfumes, will damage it over time. Avoid spraying harsh cleaners and perfumes on the stone as it is very porous and these items may discolor or damage the polish on the stone.
If you polish the jewellery, avoid polishing the stone itself. A silver-cleaning dip should never be used with this piece.
