Amber is the fossilized resin of prehistoric trees, which over tens of millions of years has gradually transformed into a light, warm and golden organic material. It originated from the resin of ancient conifers, which was buried in sediments and, through the action of time, pressure and chemical changes, acquired its present form.

In the esoteric tradition, amber is associated with the sun, vitality, protection and life energy. Its warm color symbolizes joy, abundance and light that ripens with summer. Since ancient times, amber has been worn as a protective amulet and valued as a gift of nature, which preserves the memory of ancient forests.

The ear of grain is one of the oldest symbols of harvest, fertility and abundance. It commemorates the moment when work and care turn into harvest and a person receives the fruits of what he has sown during the year. During the holiday of Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, it acquires an even deeper meaning - it symbolizes the first harvest of grain, thanksgiving for the harvest and the transition of summer to its more mature phase.

The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on the clothes, the skin of the wearer, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly and in water, but then it is good to dry it and treat it more often. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
