Gotland Necklace Cognac Amber Sterling Silver 16mm

Gotland Necklace Cognac Amber Sterling Silver 16mm

 

The beautiful and unique pendant with Natural Baltic Cognac (Golden Brown) Amber, based on the historical find from Swedish island of Gotland. This amulet is an elegant combination of Natural Amber and Silver. Originally, it was quite huge, a 48mm diameter round ball Rock Crystal pendant.

Because amber has been used since ancient times in a variety of cultures—from Greece to China to Northern Europe—there are many properties attributed to this warm and powerful stone.

What Is So Special About Amber?
The most obvious quality of amber is its old, (very old!) energy. With it comes the accumulated wisdom of the earth and its natural kingdom.
It is also believed that amber:

Balances emotions
Attracts good luck
Eliminates fears
Relieves a headache
Clears the mind
Dissolves negative energy
Helps develop patience and wisdom
Amber is considered the birthstone of the astrological sign of Cancer as it sure reflects the energy of the warmest and sunniest month of the year

Amber was a highly valued commodity during the Viking Age, prized for its beauty, rarity, and symbolic significance.
Known as “Nordic gold,” it was a cornerstone of Viking trade, fueling economic growth and cultural exchange across Europe and into the Middle East.
The Baltic region was the primary source of amber, which was harvested from the shores of the Baltic Sea and traded extensively through networks that connected Northern Europe with the Mediterranean, Egypt, and regions as far as China and India.

Vikings used amber to create a wide range of jewelry and decorative objects, including beads, pendants, bracelets, brooches, and finger rings.
Archaeological finds from sites like Jorvik (York) and Birka in Sweden reveal that amber was often imported as raw material and then crafted locally, with evidence of manufacturing waste indicating active workshops.
The material was also used to make symbolic items such as Thor’s hammers, reflecting its integration into Norse religious and cultural practices.
