A Beloved Classic Returns: The Chopin Amber Jewelry Collection from Andzia's Amber

We are pleased to present to you a brand new selection of our Chopin Collection, inspired by Poland's beloved composer Frederic Chopin. Modeled on traditional forms & materials, yet using innovations within that classic structure, these selections speak of a time & a place as much at home in the 21st century as in the 19th.

Each design in this delightful medley is one of a kind & entirely hand fabricated from beginning to end. Each draws upon floral motifs such as the lily & liberal use of flourishes & antique sterling silver finishes. And although he composed almost exclusively for the piano, the naturally rich, warm, eye pleasing cognac & cherry amber colors also remind us of the beautiful color palettes of instruments such as violins, which were once literally covered in amber, because was once used as a "lack" or laquer on fine musical stringed instruments. 

Chopin Open Work Amber Pendant No. 16 is a thick, dimensional organic shape, as shown. A stunning specimen because it contains such a perfectly balanced blend of amber characteristics. Gorgeous exotic color. Polished to perfection. Translucent areas. Included areas. Fire. An elegant sterling leaf. Some rough amber spots left intact, creating interest & drama in the front of the stone. This is a piece of amber to fall into.

This amber stone is heavily "included", meaning it is studded with fossil materials, resulting in fascinating patterns created by Mother Nature. Each amber stone bears her fingerprint. Preserved within the honey colored amber, the inclusions gleam & sparkle.

The flora contained inside the amber became trapped in the amber while the resin was still fresh, millions of years ago, in the ancient forest that once covered Northern Europe. These inclusions frequently contain hairs or tiny spores from oak tree buds, but may contain an astonishing array of other materials.

The reverse is left open, to allow the wearer to enjoy the warmth of the amber against the skin. The back side of this amber pendant contains a dimple where some of the amber bark, or amber skin (the rough amber cortex) is left intact.

A gracious old world floral motif houses the natural amber drop, lightly antiqued sterling silver leaves & vines with exquisite detail. This is a style favored & perfected by the amber masters of the 17th Century who practiced their craft in the seaside city of Gdansk, Poland, the world capital of amber. Which is exactly where Chopin Open Work Pendant No. 16 comes from.
