Green Amber

Resin

When the sap from the ancient trees is morphed into the resin we now recognize as amber, sometimes traces of chlorophyll is also trapped. It is this that gives the resin a green colour. The various shades of green vary according to the concentration of chlorophyll but also elements of cobalt inside the resin have also known to create a greenish colour.

So what is chlorophyll?

Basically it is the chemical, which is the essence of organic plant life. Its core element is magnesium surrounded by a complex protein. Its function is to absorb light and transform it into energy. This process is called photosynthesis.We have a wide range of green amber in our Drake Circus jewellery shop. It is becoming increasingly scarce so it could also make a sound investment as it is extremely likely to rise in value as demand for green amber grows.

Amber is used throughout jewellery. Currently we have on display in our plymouth shop the largest amber in europe.

A fine example of how it is used in silver jewellery can be found on our large green amber pendant.

You can see a fine example of it being used for a stunning green amber necklace. There are few samples of silver jewellery that can surpass the natural beauty of that necklace, We also have an exciting large green amber bangle that could compliment the necklace.
