{"product_id":"natural-amber-necklace","title":"Natural Amber Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor thousands of years, amber travelled across Europe before reaching the jewellery workshops and wealthy markets of the ancient Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Natural Amber Necklace celebrates this remarkable material through a strand of warm natural amber beads, each carrying its own variations in colour, translucency and organic character, punctuated by polished golden details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber and gold had been combined in Mediterranean jewellery centuries before the height of Rome. An extraordinary necklace preserved by the J. Paul Getty Museum, dating to 550–400 BC, is composed of alternating amber and granulated gold beads and demonstrates the luxurious combination of these two materials in the ancient world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber later became particularly desirable in the Roman Empire. The Metropolitan Museum of Art records that amber was imported from the Baltic coast and became an increasingly favoured precious material from the age of Emperor Nero. Roman craftsmen transformed it into jewellery, miniature vessels and intricately carved luxury objects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished with 18ct gold plated stainless steel details, this necklace brings together the warmth of natural amber and the story of one of antiquity's most remarkable traded treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause amber is a natural material, each necklace is subtly unique, with individual variations in the colour, markings and translucency of its beads. Each bead is approximately 5 x 8cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWEAR \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHE \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAST.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shinar Jewels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59338857054556,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/9234\/2364\/files\/CabochonAmberNecklace.jpg?v=1791462752","url":"https:\/\/www.shinarjewels.com\/products\/natural-amber-necklace","provider":"Shinar Jewels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
