In its origins amber differs from regular gemstones such as rubies or diamonds.

Every piece of amber started life thousands of years ago as a resin secreted by a tree which slowly solidified into the beautify gemstone used to make your favorite fashion accessories.

Being liquid, tree resin has the ability to pick up small things from the environment such as small leaves or insects. These organic materials remain thousands of years later in the amber we use to make the jewelry and give extra interest to the finished article.
