Elastic bracelet with large lenticular amber beads with a diameter of approx. 18 mm. This is butterscotch amber in a light yellow honey tone with a natural look, and a hand-forged silver bead. The inner circumference is approx. 18 cm. This is a unique piece made in the Tibet studio 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.
