Vintage Baltic Amber Chunky Beaded Statement Necklace 86g How STUNNING is this gorgeous baltic amber necklace?! Quite substantial weighing in at a little over 86g (3 oz), and oh so sparkly! The largest piece measures about an inch wide, the smallest beads towards to the clasp are about 1 cm wide. Has a hidden screw bead clasp that secures very well. Tested under a black light to ensure authenticity (it glows!). Would make a stunning gift for that someone special. I make no claims because I haven't researched this myself, but some people swear that baltic amber has healing properties thanks to it's succinic acid content. Proponents believe the stones provide anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects when absorbed through the skin from wearing the jewelry. Beliefs also extend to its ability to reduce stress and anxiety, boost the immune system, and promote overall well-being. With the way the world is now, I think we could all use a little help with stress and anxiety, so it couldn't hurt I guess? :D
