Top quality gorgeous hand polished and set in silver and Natural Green Baltic Amber Brooch from Gdansk, Poland.
Amber is a fossilised tree resin dating back around 40-60 million years ago. The origin trees that oozed amber resin are long extinct, leaving behind a history of natural beauty.
Found along the shores of the Baltic Coast, Amber in its complete natural form, is rock-like and usually opaque in colour. Most commonly amber is associated with its well know yellow-orange-brown cognac hues. However, there are numerous different shades, from a brittle white colour through to citrus yellow, brown and even black. Other uncommon colours include cherry red amber, green amber and even blue amber - which is a rare and highly sought Dominican Amber.
The colour, clarity and detail of this piece is as a result of exposing the natural fossil element to high temperatures, pressures and polishing. Bringing out the natural beauty of the gemstone in the same way that a diamond receives a faceted cut. Heating of the amber stone results in an effect of tiny internal explosions, creating unique organic patterns, giving each piece a truly individual character.

Beautiful Gemstones Designed by Nature
The Henryka Designer Gemstones Collection is a celebration of completely natural and beautifully rare gemstones from across the world.
Each gemstone is carefully hand-chosen by us for its natural and un-treated colours and patterns. We look for vibrant gemstones we know you will love, as well as rare gemstones you may have never even heard of from all corners of the earth.
Instead of seeking perfection, we choose gemstones based on the natural quirks and inclusions that make them entirely unique. This means incredible stripes, bold spots, wave-like ripples and swirls that give each gemstone its own unique fingerprint.
These characterful gemstones are then cut, polished and set BY HAND into silver jewellery designs, from statement necklaces to rings, earrings and bracelets. When wearing a piece of Henryka Designer Gemstone jewellery, you can be assured that no one will ever be wearing the same piece. It is individual to you.
