The History of Sterling Silver Baltic Amber Jewellery

Latest Sale explores the history of sterling silver Baltic amber jewellery. Baltic amber comes from the Baltic states composed of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These regions are home to the largest amber deposits on Earth. Over 44 million years ago, this area was covered by a thick forest. Trees produced sap that fossilized over time, that later developed into the beloved amber organic gemstone used in our line of Destino Jewellery. There are an estimated 100,000 tons of amber deposits where this magnificent forest once was. It is unknown when humans first discovered this reservoir, but we do know that Baltic amber was used in Egyptian tombs back in 3200 B.C.  

Are Sterling Silver Earrings Durable?

Are sterling silver earrings durable? Let us take a look at the chemical composition to find out. Sterling silver is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% trace metals. These additional metals are typically copper, zinc, and small traces of nickel. This combination has been used since the 1300’s. It may not seem like much, but including these metals ensures that sterling silver earrings are more durable. Pure silver is soft and malleable, unfit for creating fine jewellery. On the other hand, 925 sterling silver is tough and long lasting. When properly cared for, sterling silver earrings will always stay in sparkling condition.    

Bridal Jewellery Trends Throughout History

Bridal jewellery has gone through many trends throughout history. For example, in the 1910’s Art Nouveau period, and brides wore long, pendant necklaces with subtle earrings. Pearls, diamonds, and sapphires were highly fashionable. Throughout the 1940s, bridal jewellery turned toward Hollywood glamour for inspiration. Brides wore bold diamond earrings and matching necklaces. In the 1970s, brides began wearing more brightly coloured and intricately designed pieces. A mix of disco culture and bohemian charm led to this flashy trend. Today, brides prefer a more conservative, elegant look. Modern bridal jewellery tends to focus on sparkle and shine without overpowering the dress.    

How to Shop for Costume Jewellery

Here are some tips on how to shop for costume jewellery. First, consider your price range. One of the benefits to buying costume jewellery is it is more accessibly priced than fine jewellery, but there is still a large range of costs. The more expensive the piece is, the higher the quality it tends to be. Next, consider your wardrobe. Costume jewellery is a great way to take an already stylish look to the next level of elegance. For example, if you tend to wear simple, professional designs, a chunky fashion necklace is a great piece to add to your collection.
