Fabulous deep red natural amber beads. Rare red amber is so glossy and lustrous. These graduated amber beads are strung on silk and finished with a sterling silver C-clasp. Circa 1920.

Amber is petrified tree resin. Its color is determined by the conditions in which the amber petrified, whether in cold, heat, underground or in water, as well as the tree the resin originated from. The inclusions are the result of pollen, insects and vegetable matter being trapped within the resin and petrified.
