Amber has long inspired the imagination of mankind. Thus, antique myths tell the story of how ,after the death of the solar god's son Phaeton, his mourning sisters transformed into black poplars and their tears into amber.
Approximately 45 million years ago, subtropical forests covered the contemporary Baltic States. Tree resins dripped onto the ground, deposited there, consolidated and transformed to amber.

From the earliest history amber was used as jewelry. In the 17th and 18th century in Europe, amber was a national treasure of which Electors and Kings of Brandenburg-Prussia were almost exclusively in charge. They had manufactured artistic goods and extravagant state presents, among others the famous Amber Room that was handed over to Czar Peter the Great by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I.

Amber, that is mostly gleaming in a bright or golden yellow, reminds us of the sun. The sometimes dark and sometimes bright but always warm colour lends the stone its special beauty
