Natural Baltic Amber Pools Of Light Pendant ~ This undrilled 19mm orb of amber is a magnificent example of mother natures fine work! This is a captivating large size for a clean orb of amber and the inclusions give a spectacular light show. The big fish eye inclusion in the middle is amazing, you can actually see many tiny feathers on the face of it down inside the middle of the amber...it's so cool! When you view it from the side it appears as a thin dark line going through the orb, if you start spinning the amber, the fish eye opens up and illuminates light across the middle, lighting up at least 70% of the diameter of the orb. I tried to capture the phenomenon in the photo's, however the movement of light is what brings this piece to life...seen in person is the best way to get there.
The amber is round polished 19mm, just shy of 3/4" in diameter. The pendant measures 1 3/4" long (including the bail) and it weighs 7.70g. The hand crafted setting is fine silver and stamped 950 with an R logo. The bail will accommodate up to a 3.5mm chain.
The pendant is in excellent antique condition. There are no cracks or crazing, no drilling and very minimal wear to the surface. The setting has tiny spots of epoxy under the silver beads, a very clean job and holding strong, nothing is loose or broken and no repairs have been made. You will adore this rare and absolutely charming find!
