| One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.
We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead
of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
--Dale Carnegie
Garden Party Amber Rose No. 33 displays streaky, mottled butterscotch hues in translucent & opaque barely touched by toasty burnt caramel amber shades. Wonderful full form. The rich cinnamon color is the weathered outer amber skin, or cortex (also called "amber bark") left natural & intact, where the amber was kissed by storm & sea. Amber is warm to the touch unlike most other minerals.
About
80% of Baltic amber features this softly yellow tinged ivory color
inside, mainly opaque but translucent in places & studded with
drifts of lighter mat color. The lighter mat colors indicate a higher
presence of succinic acid, the unique chemical signature which makes
amber amber & which to date has never been replicated by science.
Our longstem roses are downward facing & carved in the round, with the reverse side made glossy & smooth, a bit flattened for comfort. Amber roses are held in place by arching twin sterling silver leaves with light antiquing & fine detail. The stems twist upward, allowing the chain or strap to slip through with ease. Though there are tiny thorn details, these are stylized & not a bit sharp. Each is a beautful, artistic rendering of a realistic, individual rose.
This sculptural series of special amber roses, specially commissioned by Andzia's Amber, were each expertly hand carved from a single large amber stone.
Special note: It is becoming less common to find:
1. Lumps of Baltic amber of this size & quality
2. This level of craftsmanship
