Joie de Vivre jewelry

Olive green Baltic amber and antiqued silver are the colors for a somber wood, and the wood elf as its protector. Three cabochons of amber are set in a sterling silver Celtic knot, and the pendant hangs from a 4mm thick rolo chain of silver-plated brass. Amber is not a mineral, since it has an organic origin and has no internal arrangement of atoms. As the name implies, Baltic amber is from the Baltic region, and it differs from other amber in that it contains succinic acid, an alkalinizing acid present in the body. Amber is generally golden yellow to orange red, but it can rarely take on greenish hues, like the cabochons in this pendant. The 20" necklace fastens with a sterling silver toggle, and the overall effect is a piece with haunting beauty.

Cost: $48.00 USD

This longer 20" necklace wears well with most tops, and the low volume means the necklace fits easily under jackets and blazers.
