Polish Amber Jewelry

Polish amber is Baltic amber jewelry that is found in Poland, rather than Russia. It is petrified resin from trees that grew in prehistoric times in the area that is now Poland. Polish amber jewelry is found in a wide array of colors, including gold, green, red and white.

For thousands of years, Polish amber has been believed to have some healing properties.  Wearing an amber necklace is thought to treat goiters and other issues with the thyroid. The lore suggests that amber rough, especially rough with tree bark fragments, has the strongest healing power. However, the polished gems found commonly today were believed to be beneficial because amber has high quantities of an acid compound known to help with healing.

Folklore says that wearing Polish amber jewelry will draw warm, open people to you. It is also said to help the wearer make good decisions. When it is worn with turquoise, amber is thought to calm anxiety.

Because it is a resin, when amber is heated it gives off a pine-scented aroma. It also glows florescent under a black light.

 Just like with any Baltic amber, buyers of Polish amber jewelry should look for interesting inclusions in the stone. These veins and glittering spots in the amber add value to the gem. They are typically pieces of tree bark, leaves, insects and other debris that was trapped by the resin that ran down the branches and trunks of the tree.

Look for Polish amber rings, earrings, pendants and more. You'll also find it in multi-gem pieces, often featuring other colors of amber. These are great pieces to own because you can wear your entire amber jewellry collection together when you incorporate a multi-color piece.
