These beautiful and extremely unique Amber with Inclusion Pendant Necklaces make for a stunning jewellery option that will be admired by all who see it. Housing a real inclusion would certainly be the main talking point when showing this off. No two pieces of amber will ever be identical which makes these necklaces such a unique & special item for the owner.
Amber Inclusions are unfortunate insects, plants etc. which became entombed in tree resin (not tree sap) millions of years ago. With the inclusion engulfed, the resin slowly hardened through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. This hardened material is known as Copal, which preserves the inclusion perfectly. Through time the Copal becomes buried and, over a several million year process, slowly turns into what we know as Amber. Incredibly this process has allowed us to marvel at ancient specimens frozen in time, as if captured only yesterday!
*We would always suggest using a magnifying aid to view your specimen to truly appreciate the inclusions stunning frozen detail.
ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.

Delivered in good time, packaged well and came with a really nice jewellery box. The Amber itself is such a lovely piece and so clear to enable such a good viewing of the inclusions. So interesting to see as they truly are just as the photograph shows. The chain isn’t silver itself but still looks good and fares really well. This came with a certificate.
