Ancient people believed amber was solidified sunshine or the petrified tears of god, however amber is actually fossilized pine tree sap estimated from 20 million to 200 million years old - most amber is around 50 million years old. 

Found in Poland, cognac amber is the most common type of amber and is a rich shade of gold. Amber is a powerful healer that relieves pain and stress. This amber piece will help cleanse your spirit, clear your mind, stimulate the intellect, and absorb negative energy.

Amber cameos are beautiful artist pieces, with a stunning design carved into the back of the amber stone. Amber cameos are named after the classic brooch design, which will feature the carved profile of a woman overlaid on a plain surface, usually pale pink or black or sometimes over a natural gemstone. In amber, the practice of carving a cameo into the back of the stone is reminiscent of this past trade, but brings a more modern smooth finish to the piece. 

Most amber cameos are carved by a laser. Amber is very delicate, and heat sensitive, stone, so this process can be very difficult. A design is uploaded into a computer, and the laser will recreate this on the back of the amber, in reverse so that the cameo turns out correctly. Sometimes the amber will also be treated with different coloured finishes at the end to create cameos with different depth of colors. This is commonly seen in our butterfly designs, where the patterns on each wing will boast different colours, such as brown and black. 

Perhaps most interesting are the cameos that are hand-carved by artists. We source a small assortment of our amber cameos from an artist called Irena, and we are fortunate to be able to watch her carve her designs with a dremel tool. This work takes a great deal of skill and practice to perfect. A lot of work goes into creating each stunning design. Hand-carved cameos by Irena will either be stamped in the silverwork with initials I.W or this will be carved into the amber's surface along the edges. 

Ancient people believed amber was solidified sunshine or the petrified tears of god. Many today believe amber is a powerful healer that relieves pain and stress. Amber may help cleanse your spirit, clear your mind, stimulate the intellect and absorb negative energy. Whatever your beliefs, may you enjoy your amber cameo.
