Baltic amber (succinite) is a fossil resin which formed under natural conditions 45 million years ago. In spite of the many processes, which the resin went through to transform into amber, it remains in the fossil stage, i.e. is subject to oxidising and polimerisation. Since this process is ongoing, amber keeps changing so we can assume that it is a "living" stone, friendly to humans. Our forebears were interested in amber and used it for their purposes as early as in the 13 th millennium BCE. It is from that period that what we now consider to be the earliest simple drawings of predators and wild horses made in amber originate; the artefacts were found in Meindorf, Germany and Siedlnica, Poland.

And so, this unique stone has been fascinating humankind for well over a dozen millennia and has been a material for craft and art, as well as a stone thought to have magical and medicinal properties. Today, amber adorns most of the silver jewellery produced in Poland , which is exported throughout the world.

• keep your jewellery in cotton pouches
• clean amber stones very gently with dry cotton cloth only. Amber is very soft and delicate stone so rubbing it too strongly and intensively may damage stone.
• you can clean silver and gold with jewellery care products but make sure that the product does not come into contact with the amber stone
• take off your jewellery before going to sleep
• do not ware it while practicing sports, washing up etc.
• do not sprinkle perfume on the stones and metal
