FAQs

Butterscotch amber is an opaque variety of fossilised tree resin that gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Art Deco designs, prized for its warm, creamy yellow and orange hues.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved or polished natural amber beads, frequently strung on silk cord with traditional threaded barrel clasps made from base metals or sterling silver.

Authenticity tests include electrostatic charge verification when rubbed against cloth, specific gravity tests in saltwater where genuine amber floats, and examination under UV light for characteristic blue fluorescence.

While primarily worn as personal adornment, such pieces are often displayed on decorative stands or within glass-topped display trays as part of a curated collection of historical curiosities.

Amber is a soft organic material that should be kept away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, cleaned only with a soft damp cloth, and stored separately to prevent scratching.
