Silver Amber Bracelets From Baltic Amber Artisans
Handmade amber bracelets, set in solid sterling silver, crafted with pride by Polish artisans, using genuine Baltic amber in the classic honey color and rich auburn shades as well as deep greens, translucent yellows and even the luxuriant cherry and cognac amber, are available online starting at around $55. At Amber Earrings and Jewelry we have the inside scoop on where to get amber from Poland and how to buy the best amber jewelry online.
Amber Bracelets with Gems Certified By The International Amber Association
Andzia’s Amber jewelry operates from the US, but is a fully certified amber gem dealer, being official recognized by the Polish International Amber Association for offering high quality amber stones and unique craftsmanship in earrings, pendants, brooches, necklaces and delicate amber silver bracelet designs that are all handmade. We will show you some of classic and simple styles that are affordable and unique, but first we can’t resist recommending one of the newest amber bracelet arrivals that costs almost $600, but is one of those pieces that makes you stop and say, Wow! It’s a leopard skin cameo style amber cuff bracelet. No, it’s not made from leopard skin but from uniquely colored pieces of amber polished and set into the feline motif.
Another outstanding piece that is handcrafted in sterling silver by artisans in Poland is the green amber bracelet, also a cuff, but more affordably priced at just over $200. This extraordinary Baltic amber bracelet, called Minerva, features a green cabochon with gorgeous inclusions, otherwise known as fossils, for which amber is famous, set in a hammered silver cuff that adapts to fit small to average wrists.
Moving away from the large cuff style and onto a more delicate, yet still somewhat chunky, bead design, is the Ivanka. This is a classic amber blend of honey and rich cognac color gems, but cut in an avant-garde, square and geometric fashion, to create a modern cluster bracelet, delicately contrasted with rice-shaped freshwater pearls. This genuine Baltic amber bracelet was crafted by a designer in Warsaw Poland and has matching earrings and a pendant that can be ordered online also through Andzia’s. The bracelet costs about $450.
In some cases, when it comes to gemstone jewelry for the wrist, the difference between a bangle and a cuff is unclear; often the main differentiating factor is the width of the silver band that is adorned with the stones. So, weather you choose to call it a cuff or a bangle, the thin amber bangle, called the Flora, is one beautiful bit of craftsmanship…feminine and delicate, with almost every shade of amber used to create it’s two flowers and leaves on sterling silver stems atop a thin silver bangle or cuff.
This exquisite piece costs just under $170. If you fall in love with this design, you can get the complete matching set and choose between stud earrings or the amber dangle earrings, as well as a one flower pendant and a slightly different, and more elaborate bracelet design, in the same series, that is a link bracelet style with 4 flowers and five leaves on a sterling silver link chain. The earrings costs between $40 and $60, the pendant is just $50 and the second link bracelet is only $95. For silver and genuine gemstone jewelry this is a great price….and don’t forget it’s all handcrafted and comes right from the Baltic source.
We can’t resist showing you a piece of jewelry that’s not silver but all amber, partly because it’s beautiful, but also because the amber bracelets that have no metal elements at all are thought to have strong curative properties.
The piece is called the Zosia, and it’s a cluster style Russian Baltic amber bracelet with accenting Japanese seed bead pearls in coco color and white. This particular piece is handcrafted in Russia and is in fact part of a complete necklace set, which, together with the bracelet, costs just over $370.
Honey colored and green amber bracelet designs by JEGem are also made from the top grades of Polish amber, and one in particular, from different colored cabochons, is worthy of note. With a series of long, rectangular chunks of amber with bright and clear fossils, the price tag of less than $165 seems almost too little. The green is so dark it looks black, yet it has lighter highlights as accents, and the honey orange and lemony colored pieces are translucent and beautifully mounted in sterling silver with small links separate each of the 7 cabochons.
If you’d like to buy amber jewelry direct from Poland, and have it shipped to your region, one place to shop online is Bursztynowe Centrum in Gdańsk, which operates online as ebursztyn.pl and has some unusual items set in silver for very reasonable prices. Aside from the traditional or well-known colors, they also carry a selection of green and even the cognac or red amber that can be crimson colored or a rich purple/burgundy shade. In some cases, the most beautiful contrasts are achieved by mixing the different colors of light lemon yellow amber with rich green, orange, auburn and red amber, such as the design simply sold as number 2077 which has rectangular cut gems in sets of three that alternate colors around the wrist.
Another Polish shop that has genuine artisan products that are not factory made but crafted by artists in fine silver, is Amberland. Some of the designs we are in-love with are the ones that use white amber and hand pounded silver and have an artistic, perhaps slightly tribal, feel.
Others we love are lacey bracelets that have been sculpted by hand into curls and twists and incorporate cabochons or unique shaped gemstones in cognac, green and other amber tones.
