Antique butterscotch amber necklace

This elegant necklace from the 20th century consists of honey-colored, olive-shaped butterscotch amber beads with a diameter of approx. 7 - 17 mm. The necklace has been newly strung in the Tibet studio and is closed with a modern metal hook clasp, giving it a minimalist, modern look. It has a length of 45.5 cm and a weight of 40g.

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.
