I created this Sterling Silver ring with square wire and an awesome piece of Baltic Amber. 80 percent of the worlds Amber comes from the Baltic Coast. This piece was collected in Russia and judging from the insect/animal inclusions from this region (this piece has a mosquito in it) the amber dates from 44 million years ago! I have another piece that is much smaller that I will be wrapping soon as well. These are custom ordered rings. I was really shocked when I received these pieces of amber at how affected I was to be holding something in my hand that is SO beautiful and has been tumbling around on this earth for so long. The energy of this ring is really breath taking. Too bad it's impossible to capture that feeling in a photograph.
