Amber pendant "Zodiac Sign Libra" (24.9.-23.10.) (without chain)

Baltic amber is 40-50 million years old and is found mainly on the coast of East Prussia. Today, "the gold of the sea" can still be collected by practised sandpipers, especially after storms on the beaches of the Baltic Sea. Each stone is unique due to its colouring and patterning - from bright yellow to rich honey colours to green.

For over 10,000 years, amber has been set in silver and gold and processed into precious gems by professional carvers. Even the Roman poet Pliny noted that "a small figurine of amber is more expensive than a slave". When amber is worn directly on the skin, it is said to have healing powers. The ancient material is said to help with rheumatism and toothache, heart weakness and asthma, nervous disorders and problems with the kidneys, gall bladder, liver and stomach. Amber was an exceptionally popular protective stone for the Vikings and even the ancient Egyptians, used as a talisman to alleviate fears and provide joie de vivre.

To this day, the tradition of amber carving has been preserved by the jewellers of the Polish Baltic coast. This is also where these modern zodiac signs originate, which are made exclusively for ars mundi. Each piece of jewellery is a unique piece made by hand, our jewellers combine the appropriate amber colours for each star sign with its grain, which changes from stone to stone.

Each jewellery object is carefully set in 925 sterling silver and combined with a gemstone corresponding to the zodiac sign. Pendant size 4 x 3.5 cm. Without chain.
