| An idealist is one who, on noticing that roses smell better than a cabbage,
concludes that it will also make better soup.
H. L. Mencken
Lucetta Amber Rose No. 39 displays a choice palette from the butterscotch end of the amber color spectrum. This series of special amber roses are each expertly hand carved from a single large amber stone.
Tawny, glossy butterscotch shades gently mottled a light trace of cream & edged in burnt caramel tones. A bit shy, Lucetta's petals gently "open" at a slant to one side. Svelte & touchable.This rich 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.
The roses are downward facing & carved in the round. They are held by three lightly antiqued sterling silver leaves with fine detail.
The reverse side of each rose is glossy & smooth, shaped to lie comfortably against the skin. Each is a beautful, artistic rendering of a realistic, individual rose.
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.
Special note: It is becoming less common to find:
1. Lumps of Baltic amber of this size & quality
2. This level of craftsmanship
