The origins of the Amber gemstone

The story begins nearly 45 million years ago, between Central and Northern Europe. There was a huge part of the territory of amber forest, from the Caspian Sea to the Norwegian coast.

This stone is actually an oleoresin secreted by conifers that fossilizes over time. Although it’s not mineralized, it is sometimes used as a gem and usually presented as such. Its color ranges from lemon yellow to dark brown and is always transparent, which makes it highly coveted in the jewelry world.

This gemstone has been worn as jewelry since ancient times, and was very early attributed beneficial properties and virtues. It was associated with eternal youth because it seemed to preserve plant material and animals. Amber is now part of the 3 gems (with diamond and jet) of plant origin. Like diamonds, Amber forms as a result of thousands of years of presence in nature and requires conditions of pressure and heat to form.
