{"product_id":"amber","title":"Amber - Round","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"513\"\u003eThese warm Baltic Amber cabochons measure approximately 8mm across with a softly domed height of around 4.5mm, creating a delicate, lightweight gemstone with a naturally glowing presence. Each piece carries its own unique character, ranging from honey-gold and warm cognac tones through to soft butterscotch and deep amber-orange hues. Subtle internal inclusions, clouding, or ancient organic flecks may be present, adding depth and a sense of prehistoric intrigue that makes Amber so distinctive among gemstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"1014\"\u003eThe classic round cabochon shape and gentle dome allow light to pass beautifully through the resinous material, giving each stone a warm, glowing appearance as it moves. Their petite size makes them ideal for fine jewellery work such as delicate rings, stud earrings, small pendants, or clustered designs where multiple tones of Amber can be combined for a rich, organic effect. Amber pairs beautifully with sterling silver for a clean, modern contrast, or with gold tones for a warm, cohesive glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1i7rm9v\" data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eKey Properties \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003eAmber is fossilised tree resin, valued for its lightweight nature, warm colour palette, and natural inclusions that may include ancient plant material or air bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber has a hardness of approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003e2 to 2.5\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it significantly softer than most gemstones and best suited to jewellery that will not be subjected to heavy wear or abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1430\"\u003eCleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean very gently using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water.
