Butterscotch amber is a term used for opaque or semi-opaque fossilised tree resin that exhibits a warm, milky yellow to orange colouration, originating primarily from the Baltic region.

Craftspeople typically carved raw amber nodules into individual beads, often graduating them in size, and hand-strung them on silk or cotton thread with knots tied between each bead for security.

Authenticity can be evaluated using various non-destructive tests, such as checking for electrostatic properties when rubbed, observing fluorescence under UV light, and noting specific gravity in saltwater solutions.

This piece complements contemporary minimalist outfits by adding a warm, organic accent against neutral fabrics like linen, cashmere, or monochrome tailoring.

Amber is a soft organic material that should be cleaned only with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, alcohol, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
