Review & Description
Cherry Amber Collection: The oldest type of cherry amber was found in Burma and is at least 350 million years old. In general, it is usually found around the Baltic Sea area( 60-90 million years old) in the deepest layers 600-900 feet below the surface. Cherry Amber is the oldest variety of amber. It has a deep red color, and is very translucent with few inclusions. Cherry amber was deposited deep within the Earth. These deposits are very thin, rarely measuring over ¼ inch thick. This adds to the difficulty of mining this stone. Finding stones large enough for designer jewelry are a rarity, therefore cherry amber is a gem that is very desirable in fashion today. Great attention and care must be taken in the production of jewelry using cherry amber stones. It is the most challenging of amber colors to produce jewelry with. It is hard to find matching stones for earrings and strands of beads, etc. Sets are very rare and exclusive. Read more
