Earrings of the Indonesian Amber and Gold Vermeil
These earrings are made with honey-colored Indonesian blue amber and gold vermeil beads and fittings.
The wire-hoop earrings feature 12mm amber beads and vintage Bali gold vermeil fittings, They are 45 mm long including the hoops (with the 35mm dangle-only). Note that the prop face is much smaller than life-size.
This particular Indonesian Amber is sometimes referred to as "blue amber". Indeed in bright sunlight, especially when the sun rays are falling at the beads at an angle, there is a clear blue tint visible. This hint of blue is visible under a variety of natural light conditions, although this is usually a fleeting effect. In most natural light conditions the color of the beads is a range of honey yellow to dark wine red. But the blue effect is there, and it is especially pronounced in UV light.
These earrings can be matched with many of our Amber necklaces.
These natural amber beads are semi-transparent, with inclusions and darker spots. There are occasional irregularities on the smooth surface of the beads. These inclusions and irregularities are natural and should be expected. Some can be seen in the photos and some are not. These irregularities only emphasize the beauty of the natural amber.
