Amber is a warm, golden yellow gemstone made from fossil resin that plays an important role in Tibetan jewelry. In traditional pieces of jewelry, it is often used in combination with turquoise, coral and silver. In Tibetan culture, amber symbolizes protection, healing and wisdom. Monks and believers often wear amber as a talisman to ward off negative energies. The processing is usually done by hand, which makes each piece of jewelry unique and gives it a high cultural value.
