This is an amazing and high quality old Baltic yellow amber and iolite necklace. It has handmade 14K gold amber caps and clasp.  The necklace is chic and very light and pleasant to wear.


Baltic amber is an organic substance, a “fossil resin” produced by pine trees which grew in Northern Europe. 

Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is also used as an ingredient in perfumes and as a healing agent in folk medicine. Baltic amber relieves the pain when it lays against the skin during the day. As it warms with the body’s natural temperature, Baltic amber jewelry releases healing oils containing succinic acid which are absorbed into the skin and bloodstream.


Like a crisp, dark winter sky, Iolite, in shifting shades of violet-blue carries the spirit of journey, of dreams and intuition, of exploration and illumination. Iolite is also named "water sapphire". Iolite has been worn for centuries and derives its name from “Ios” - the Greek word for violet. It is often claimed, that due to it’s strong pleochroism, ancient Vikings used iolite for navigation on cloudy days. It is conjectured that the gemstone acted as a polarizing filter and allowed the ancient sailors to determine the position of the sun.
