Natural Dark Honey Polish Baltic Amber Cab Bezel Set Earrings. 10mm Round Cabochon Gemstones. Sterling Silver. November Birthstones. These gemstones come from a dealer in Poland which is famous for Baltic Amber Gemstones.

Special care is not required but keep it safe; it is a very soft gemstone. Only rated at 2.0-2.5 (1-10) it can easily be damaged or scratched. For these reasons, we normally set Amber in well protected settings including Bezels that protect it well.

Amber is not a mineral; it is a resin, and a created product of fossilized trees over mean years. Some amber will contain insects and otherwise that been caught up when fossilized. Synthetic Amber is common and melting it gives off a distinct plastic smell where melting true amber gives of a distinct pine smell. There is no mistaking the smell of true amber.

Testing it does and can destroy the gemstones as we know well :) We test randomly if questionable.

Renaissance wax is used by Museums to protect a variety of pieces including valuable artwork and jewelry. it gives is a nice sheen and works quite well. We use it for our own personal jewelry as well. We do not sell it but other sellers do, whom we also buy it from. Check it out; we highly recommend getting some for yourself.

There is no special care needed for this stone. As with the most popular Jeweler's Insurance agency, Jeweler's Mutual, we recommend the same care for most stones and your jewelry. Use warm water, a soft tooth brush, and a mild dish detergent that do not contain dying or bleaching agents (Blue Dawn recommended) and then polish up. For a more through cleaning take to a qualified jeweler and disclose any known treatments etc. that your gemstones may have. If you Tarnish Removers, try to be careful to not get it on your gemstones.

Stay away from Chlorine in Pools, Spas, Jacuzzi, and otherwise as it can damage Amber. Some people will polish with Olive or other oils such as mineral when it starts to look dull. Prolonged exposure to hot water can damage it. Avoid high heat and flames, it will melt. Melting natural amber gives off a distinct pine smell unlike melting synthetic amber which gives off a definite plastic smell. We have and do test any stones that we have questions on randomly; and can assure you, we sell natural amber. If it is not, it will be disclosed.
