Amber

Amber isn't techincally a "stone" - it is fossilized tree resin. The soft and meltable nature of Amber lends itself to reprocessing, such that they are huge facilities in Russia, melting down low-grade Amber and refining it and re-manufacturing it into stunning beads of breath-taking quality.

We try to distinguish "Natural" Amber - unprocessed except for the shaping and polishing process - and other Ambers that have been heavily processed (where we know).

We try to choose consistent stock, but the nature of natural beads is that there will be inconsistency between strands and between individual beads.

Stone Beads - Graduated Chips - Amber (strand)
This batch is different, chips graduate in size. A lot of variety in the strand. Great design accent. 16 inch strand, but includes tiny seedbeads as spacers. You could just restring as a necklace - a clasp, better stringing material and nicer spacers and you'd be good to go! 6 - 8mm x 2 - 6mm (strand)
