This luscious crisp, clear, green and yellow Baltic Amber square ring is beautiful and has great depth to it. Don't settle for cloudy Amber, please see the additional image below for another view.
Genuine Amber such as this is fossil resin. Prayer beads made of Amber were exported as the main product of tooled Baltic amber during the Middle Ages. From the 16th century into the 18th century, jewelry, containers, boxes, bowls, plates, flutes, buttons, mouth pieces for pipes, chess sets, watch cases and even luxury interior fittings were made using amber.
Most of the amber trade took place in Königsberg and Danzig, knowns as modern day Gdansk, modern Russia and Poland, respectively.
