| Typical colors | Honey, cognac, golden yellow, brown, orange, and warm translucent tones. |
| Character | May show natural inclusions, color zoning, clouds, or internal flow patterns. |
| Use | Jewelry, collections, display pieces, carving, and decorative objects. |
Natural Appearance
Amber is loved for its warmth and depth. Depending on the piece, it can appear transparent, translucent, cloudy, or opaque. Small natural marks, internal lines, or organic structures are part of the charm of amber and make each item visually individual.
Lightweight and Comfortable
Compared with many minerals, amber is lightweight. This makes it especially pleasant for jewelry and easy to use in larger decorative or collectible pieces.
Care tip: Keep amber away from harsh chemicals, perfume, high heat, and abrasive surfaces. Clean gently with a soft cloth.
