Magnificent Necklace
I can honestly say that I was astounded at the quality and the brilliance of this necklace. Catherine the Great would have been proud to wear this. If you have a slim neck and good shoulders, the necklace will sit right across your collarbone without dangling. I fastened the clasp and pulled the necklace down and was pleasantly surprised that it reached "cleavage" level. Most of the time, I will just let it rest on my collarbone since the wire appears to be memory.

Product Description
Cherry Amber Collection: The oldest type of cherry amber was found in Burma and is at least 350 million years old. In general, it is usually found around the Baltic Sea area( 60-90 million years old) in the deepest layers 600-900 feet below the surface. Cherry Amber is the oldest variety of amber. It has a deep red color, and is very translucent with few inclusions. Cherry amber was deposited deep within the Earth. These deposits are very thin, rarely measuring over ¼ inch thick. This adds to the difficulty of mining this stone. Finding stones large enough for designer jewelry are a rarity, therefore cherry amber is a gem that is very desirable in fashion today. Great attention and care must be taken in the production of jewelry using cherry amber stones. It is the most challenging of amber colors to produce jewelry with. It is hard to find matching stones for earrings and strands of beads, etc. Sets are very rare and exclusive. Top to learn more
