Polular Jewelry Page
All specimens on this page are Baltic amber (unless otherwise noted) and about 40 million years old. They are all done individually by a professional craftsman in Lithuania. He does superb work!
PLEASE NOTE: The pendants below are a fairly good sized. In almost every case the insect is small. Since we normally photograph the insects under a microscope, it can be misleading when you see the image of the insect versus the reality of the actual size. Please keep this in mind as you look through the images and the scanned image.
Item 1
Item 2
To give you an idea on size, the spider web (silver) is about 1.5 inches from top to bottom and 1.2 inches from side to side. This is Chiapas amber with a very nice male spider off to one side. A black necklace is also provided with this specimen.
SOLD
Item 3
We picked up 8 perfect pieces of Dominican amber that are absolutely perfect to have made into a pendant. In fact, we purchased these specifically to sell as "to be made" items. While we do not do custom work, many jewelers can wrap a silver or gold band around these beauties and you will have a truly special pendant. This weighs 6.13 grams.
SOLD
Item 4
I know this is not set in gold or silver - yet. This is a magnificent piece that contains a large, perfect leaf. It is the type of piece that you can have made into jewelry yourself. It is so good that we are selling this as a museum piece that begs to be made into a pendant of your design. Most jewelers would jump that the chance to make this into a pendant. You draw the design and they make the piece. Together (your design and this specimen) you will have a VERY valuable and will have the ability to show to everyone.
This is amber from Mexico. It also contains a Dipteran, a possible mayfly (not 100% sure on that one) and an immature cicada. They do not get any better than this one. By the way, this might also have a mite. It is about 2 x 1 x .5 inches.
Item 5
Have we got a great deal for you. We just got back from the Dominican Republic and bought a "bag full" of old pendants like the ones to the left. Some have bugs, most do not, but each one is special and hand done. Since we got such a good deal on them, we pass it on to you, these are only $13 each. You do not get to pick, this will be a situation where we reach into the bag and pull out one randomly. This is a real, real good deal. Our numbers are limited though.
Item 6
This pendant is not solid gold, but gold plated. There is a nice dance fly off to the side. The fly is small.
Item 7
We picked up 8 perfect pieces of Dominican amber that are absolutely perfect to have made into a pendant. In fact, we purchased these specifically to sell as "to be made" items. While we do not do custom work, many jewelers can wrap a silver or gold band around these beauties and you will have a truly special pendant. The dark areas in this amber are parts of plants. This piece weighs 13.8 grams.
SOLD
Item 17
Unusual design. This is a leaf with the amber to one side. The back has a loop for the chain. There is a nice antlike like stone beetle, Coleoptera, Scydmaenidae and a midge, Chironomidae.
Item 18
I like the shape of this pendant. It has two true midges, Diptera, Chironomidae and what may be a small caddis fly, Trichoptera.
SOLD
Item 19
3.5 x 2.5 inches in 925 silver. This Chiapas amber is just beautiful. There are four gnats inside the amber. Very clear, you can almost read through it. One of the nicest pieces we have seen that was do with hand work. 68.5 grams....impressive.
Item 20
We have picked up a very small number of broaches. This is the 1st of 3. As you can see this is a beetle. It has the clasp on the back side. Very impressive (as they all are). Make sure you look at the 'scanned image' to see the size.
