The story: Amber takes its name from the Arabic “anbar”, meaning “precious substance”. Unlike gemstones, amber is a fossilized resin, formed millions of years ago. Appreciated since ancient times, it was used by the Greeks and Romans for its protective and healing properties. In Norse cultures, amber was believed to be the solidified tears of the goddesses. Warm in hue ranging from golden honey to deep cognac, this organic gem is often encrusted with fascinating inclusions, like prehistoric insects. Combined with warmth, solar energy and protection, it remains a timeless symbol of vitality and serenity.
