Butterscotch amber necklace with silver and turquoise - old materials reimagined

Beautiful old, newly strung amber necklace in the particularly sought-after and precious butterscotch color, with a wonderfully warm shiny patina, interspersed with silver and old turquoise beads - a Tibetan design classic.

The amber beads vary in diameter from approx. 6 to 10 mm and are strung in a gentle size gradient. The necklace has a total circumference of 48 cm and is opened with a silver spring clasp. This unique piece was made from old materials at Atelier Tibet in Zurich.

Butterscotch amber is a special variety of amber with an opaque, creamy yellow to honey-colored hue reminiscent of butterscotch (caramel candy). In contrast to transparent amber, its milky appearance is caused by tiny trapped air bubbles. It is rarer than classic clear amber, especially in uniform shades. In Tibetan culture, butterscotch amber is traditionally used in amulets and jewelry. It is considered a lucky stone, is said to promote spiritual energy and is often combined with turquoise and coral.
