| Nobody sees a flower -- really -- it is so small it takes time -- we haven't time --
and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
--Georgia O'Keefe
Sweet Juliet Amber Rose No. 13 displays an enticing blend range of warm golden amber colors--intermingled honey & lemon shades filled with glowing light & licked by cognac shades.
The
reverse both transparent amber plus a light coating of the 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. This color, shining
through, is what creates the magical warm cognac shades.
This series of special amber roses are each expertly hand carved from a single large amber stone. 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
