These ready-to-wear ombre Baltic Amber chip bead necklaces are stunning. Baltic amber can age from 15 million to 44 million years old and the level of oxidization and sun exposure dictates its colour. The older the amber the more transparent it becomes. It can range from bright yellow to golden and then to dark rich brown and black depending on how old it is and its source location.

Each necklace has a screw-type plastic clasp and is approximately 70cm long (inc clasp). Each necklace, contains approximately 200 hundred chip beads, depending on the size of the beads. These could be worn as they are or re-strung or even broken down to create several other jewellery designs using silver or gold findings or mix up your design and make them unique using some of our other gemstone beads - turquoise looks amazing with amber.
