In the heart of nature’s creativity lies a wonder that captures our imagination and takes us back millions of years, to a time when the earth was filled with the wild, natural beauty of life just starting to flourish. This wonder is amber, nature's own treasure chest, preserving moments of an ancient world with stunning detail and profound beauty. Our collection of nature-inspired amber creations offers more than just jewelry; it presents a real connection to the ancient world, capturing the essence of life from long ago. Amber: A Window to the Past Amber, the fossilized resin from ancient trees, has always been valued not just for its warm, glowing colors but also for the secrets it carries within. When we talk about nature-inspired amber, we mean pieces that include amazing inclusions - bits of the past forever caught in golden light. These inclusions range from the delicate wings of prehistoric insects to the complex shapes of ancient plant material, each sharing a story of a world untouched by time. Insects in Amber: A Look into Ancient Ecosystems One of the most fascinating things about amber are the perfectly preserved insects that sometimes are found inside. These creatures, caught in a moment of time, offer an unmatched look into the ecosystems and the complexity of life that thrived millions of years ago. Botanical Wonders: The Spirit of Ancient Forests Not falling behind, the plant inclusions found within some amber pieces provide a direct connection to the ancient forests they came from. Tree branches, leaves, and even spores can be found encased within our amber creations, offering a rare view of the plants that once covered the earth. The Beauty of Natural Amber Skin Besides the life forms preserved within, amber itself can be a work of art. Some of our pieces show what is known as "natural amber skin" - the original surface of the amber, which has not been polished away by nature. This natural skin can show textures that remind us of tree bark, flowing water, or even the scales of a reptile. Each piece is a unique sculpture made by nature, its surface telling the story of its journey through time and the elements. Why Our Nature-Inspired Amber Creations Are Special Each piece of amber in our collection is a tribute to the lasting beauty of the natural world. Wearing one of our nature-inspired amber creations is not just a style choice; it's a connection to the ancient world, a piece of history worn close to the heart. These creations are not just decorations but stories, lessons, and legacies from an earth that existed long before us. We invite you to explore our collection and find your own piece of prehistoric life. Whether you're drawn to the history captured within insect inclusions, touched by the botanical beauty of ancient plant material, or captivated by the unique textures of natural amber skin, you’ll find that each piece is not just a jewel but a journey. A journey back to a world that, thanks to the timeless magic of amber, we can still touch, see, and admire.

In the world of amber, authenticity and craftsmanship are paramount. At Amber By Torvela, we take pride in our commitment to delivering exquisite, hand-made amber creations that capture the natural beauty of this timeless gemstone. Here are the most important things we believe are the main factors to consider when choosing your jeweler. No Pressed Amber, Only Genuine Craftsmanship We want our customers to truly experience the essence of amber. That's why we strictly refrain from producing or selling pressed amber. Each piece in our collection is a testament to genuine craftsmanship, meaning we create jewelry from 'whole amber'—one solid piece. Pressed amber, in contrast, is made from amber dust, chemicals, and glue, then pressed into a specific form. Carefully Handmade At Amber By Torvela, each piece is a meticulously crafted work of art by skilled hands. We believe in the power of the human touch to enhance the unique beauty of every amber creation. Over the years, our business has grown, and as professionals, we strive to adapt to each amber piece individually. We aim to complement the unique forms and sizes of amber, showcasing its best side. Rest assured, the jewelry we create is one-of-a-kind, making each piece truly special and unlike anything else in the world. In-House Excellence As small family business owners, our dedication to quality permeates every facet of our process. Handling everything in-house allows us to meticulously monitor each step, ensuring the highest standards from start to finish. Working together to achieve the pinnacle of quality is our top priority. From designing and selecting the right raw materials to jewelry crafting and product photography, our assurance is present at every step of the way. Proactive Raw Material Sourcing To ensure the highest quality raw materials, we adopt a proactive approach. Personally involved in the purchasing process, we meticulously select only the best pieces and cultivate strong relationships with reliable suppliers. In a world filled with numerous imitations, this step is crucial for our commitment to authenticity. Our suppliers are individuals with whom we've built longstanding partnerships over the years. Quality Additional Materials Complementing the natural allure of amber, we use only the finest additional materials – sterling silver 925 and 100% natural leather. This commitment to quality ensures that each creation is not just beautiful but also enduring. No Compromise on Natural Beauty Diverging from others, we firmly reject the use of epoxy resin. Our stance is based on the conviction that it significantly compromises the natural beauty and quality of amber. This is a sensitive and critical subject that every potential amber buyer should be informed about. Delve deeper into the discussion on epoxy resin in our dedicated blog, where we conducted tests revealing the possibilities of amber imitation and the challenges in distinguishing these fakes. Read more here. Maintaining Natural Form We ensure that each piece retains the natural form of amber. Our artisans work diligently to preserve amber's charm, allowing its true character to shine. Adapting to nature's creativity isn't always easy, as it often surpasses our own. Drawing inspiration from nature, we protect every gram of amber. We firmly believe that incorporating natural forms into our products adds significant value and authenticity. Authenticity Guaranteed With every purchase, we provide certificate that authenticate the origin and quality of our amber. We want our customers to have complete confidence in the authenticity of their cherished pieces. At Amber By Torvela, our dedication to quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship defines who we are. Each piece tells a story of passion, artistry, and a commitment to preserving the timeless beauty of amber. Explore our jewelry collections and discover the magnificent expression of nature!

Embark on a journey into the enchanting world of winter with our latest collection – “Frostfire Glow”, a harmonious blend of captivating greens and the mysterious allure of black amber. This meticulously crafted assortment offers a delightful combination of diverse shapes, vibrant colors, intricate designs, and handcrafted artistry. Before delving into the details, let's explore the unique color range that sets this collection apart. Green Amber The verdant hues of green amber are a result of the resin's interaction with chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. As resin falls near these plants, it captures fragments, creating distinctive inclusions of plant material within each amber piece. This not only amplifies the individuality of each specimen but also influences a stunning color spectrum, ranging from light to rich dark greens. Historically associated with good luck and beliefs in immortality, green amber's cultural significance enhances its mystique and desirability. Black Amber Exuding a mystical appeal, black amber is known for its enigmatic nature, often concealing captivating inclusions like fossilized insects, plant fragments, or intriguing air bubbles within its depths. These hidden treasures, though not always visible, add an aura of mystery, inviting us to ponder the unseen wonders encapsulated in each piece. Originating from fossilized tree resin 40 millions of years ago, Black color Baltic amber stands out as a rare and captivating variation with a distinct black color attributed to organic impurities during the fossilization process. While the darker hue may obscure inclusions compared to lighter ambers, each piece holds unique characteristics and the potential for trapped organisms or debris. Sourced in the same way as other ambers, black Baltic amber is a commonly found variety, contrasting with the rarity of clear amber which is less frequently encountered due to the unpredictable natural processes involved in its formation. While clear amber is highly sought after for its scarcity, black Baltic amber, being more abundant, offers a more accessible yet equally fascinating insight into ancient ecosystems and the journey of fossilization. As the winter season unfolds, let our 'Frostfire Glow' collection be a part of your story. Embrace the beauty and mystique of these unique pieces, each with a tale as rich and captivating as winter itself.

This article can be a real ice-breaker in an awkward meeting or one more fun facts list in your brain archive, so don’t miss a chance to brighten up your day! If you already feel confident with your knowledge about amber, take our quiz and find out your score! And for those who are here for the facts, here it goes - 10 interesting facts about our beloved amber! 1. Amber is a gem, but not a gemstone. Since amber is a hardened resin of certain trees, fossilized over long periods of time, it is clear – amber is not a mineral. The right classification for organic gems like amber, coral, and pearl is gem material, not a gemstone. 2. The Baltic region is the largest amber deposits in the world. The Royal Society published a botanical paper that estimates that over 105 tons of Baltic amber were produced by Palaeogene forests in northern Europe, making this the largest single known deposit of fossilized plant resin. By the way, Baltic amber is also considered to be the highest quality, with the best preservation of anatomical detail of fossil insects of any age. 3. Amber once was a part of a tree’s immune system. This doesn’t sound so strange when we think about how amber formed. When a tree is punctured or scratched, the tree releases a sticky substance called resin to seal the wounded area. Over time, chemically stable kinds of resin will harden and form the pretty, translucent version of amber that you are familiar with. Thus amber is the hardened, stable resin of ancient trees. 4. The origin of the word electricity comes from the Greek word for amber. According to the Swedish Museum of Amber, over 2500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus discovered that when amber was rubbed against cloth, it produced sparks and attracted feathers, husks, and small wooden splinters. This force was given the name "electricity" after the Greek word electron, which means “amber.” 5. Thanks to amber, multiple extinct species have been identified. Because of the unique way that amber traps and preserves insects and animals inside it, these finds have helped paleontologists to reconstruct life on earth in its early origins, and more than 1000 extinct species of insects have been identified because of amber. 6. Baltic amber has been found in Egyptian tombs. The Ancient Egyptians loved amber. There are many reports of amber and other similar resin products being found in tombs dating back to 3200 BCE. Some scholars think that these resins were intended to represent the “tears of Ra.” It is believed that the origin of some of this amber has been the Baltic Coast, more than 1500 miles away. 7. Wearing amber jewelry goes back to at least 11,000 BCE. This amber, which was polished and carved to make jewelry or decorations dating back to 11,000 BCE, has been found at archeological sites in England. It was used to make varnish as long ago as 250 BCE and powdered amber were used in incense. 8. The oldest amber is 320 million years old. The vast majority of amber is younger than 90 million years old, but there are examples that are much older. In 2009, researchers discovered a 320-million-year-old piece of amber in an Illinois coal mine, which unexpectedly was very similar to more modern resins. This discovery completely upended the entire early evolutionary history of plants and showed resins were much older than was previously thought. The oldest animals found trapped in amber date from the Triassic, around 90 million years later. Despite being 230 million years old, these mites preserved in the amber are strikingly similar to today’s gall mites. 9. Mohammed believed that a true believer would make his praying beads from amber. Amber was considered to contain magical powers and was, therefore worn as charms to offer protection from evil spirits and witchcraft. It was acclaimed to possess the power of healing. 10. In astrology, amber is classified as a gemstone for several different signs of the Zodiac for its strength and energy. It is believed to be Cancer’s birthstone and it's been thought to reflect the energy of the sunniest and warmest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere where it is found. You might also see amber listed as a birthstone for the astrological sign of Taurus. It fits and aligns with this sign appropriately for the nature lover in the scope of its own earthy origins. We hope you enjoyed expanding your knowledge about amber. Hopefully, time will reveal even more interesting facts about this special, million years old resin!

Let's start with the truth. Baltic amber in red color does not exist. Redish shades are called cognac and they are obtained when the amber is heated. And that color is only oxidative layer on the surface. About red amber, we can say that some of the companies use vinyl dye (used for clothes). In autoclaves, with pressure and heat help, amber absorbs the dye into itself. “In this way, it is possible to make amber red, blue, green and any other color. Our company never did and does not do this kind of tricks.” We are categorically against of any glue, lacquer, dye, plastic or any other chemical materials usage, in order to hide cracks of amber or change its color. These amber goods are in natural color: And these round beads are amber or copal, which absorbed red, blue and green color vinyl dye: See the difference?

Many people that like natural Baltic amber know, that not heated in an autoclave amber is in bright matt yellow color. And that it is highly valued. But at this point the knowledge ends… So what does it really mean heated or not heated amber? What’s the difference between them? Is the matt yellow color the only way to detect whether it was heated or not? We have been hearing these and many other questions about not heated amber from our clients for a while now and it’s finally the time to answer them publicly! First of all, how the amber’s heating is made? Usually, it happens in an autoclave, where amber is being treated with high pressure and high temperature for a couple of hours. This way, it is being made more mature, as if it has spent way many more years forming than it already did. The second way to heat amber is in an oven. This is more of a color-making process. When being heated in this way, its surface covers with a darker shade, like a bread with a crust. This way we can change amber’s color from lemon to cognac, from cognac to cherry, etc. But why amber has to be heated in an autoclave? Since amber was forming by layer of tree’s resin dripping on another layer, and many times like this, it is made from many layers. Of which, not all are connected well one to another. That could have happened due to the fact that when one layer formed, it took some time for another to cover it. And in the meantime, some dust, some leaves, even some insects covered the first one. So the surface was not perfectly clean and the next layer could not attach to the first one firmly. Because of this amber’s creation process, it is necessary to put it into an autoclave, so the layers could attach one to another better. After this process amber becomes stronger and its color usually becomes clearer. E.g. if we heat matt yellow amber, it might become completely clear cognac or lemon color (if there is no dirt inside of it). Here we naturally came to one more reason why amber is usually heated.

After this process we might have a piece for a big amber pendant. However, not always these layers attach well one to another even after being heated in an autoclave and the amber piece has to be cut into several smaller ones.
