Displaying rich honey and butterscotch tones with beautiful natural marbling and impressive translucency when illuminated, the pendant weighs an impressive 34.6 grams and forms the focal point of this elegant statement necklace. The strand is composed of polished Baltic amber beads of varying organic shapes and sizes, creating a relaxed, sculptural appearance that was particularly popular during the 1970s.

The generous 87cm strand allows the necklace to fall to approximately 52cm when worn, placing the substantial pendant perfectly below the neckline. The combination of warm amber tones, natural inclusions and the large freeform pendant creates a piece that is equally suited to everyday wear or as a dramatic collector’s piece.

Likely retailed in the United Kingdom using genuine Baltic amber and finished with a 9ct gold pendant fitting, this is an excellent example of vintage British amber jewellery from the period.

The necklace remains in very good vintage condition with light age-related wear including some nibs consistent with careful use.

Stock note: The pendant displays particularly attractive colour play and translucency when backlit, while the substantial weight and generous proportions make this an unusually impressive vintage Baltic amber necklace.
