An absolutely beautiful vintage sterling silver Baltic amber drop pendant necklace in a fluid Art Nouveau design that lends itself beautifully to the organic nature the amber.
The natural amber is cut into a teardrop shape and it is a translucent egg yolk yellow with lots of debris visible. The silver setting is cone shaped with applied silver wire work scrolls and bead accents. A large teardrop shaped bale complements the design and the pendant suspends from a fairly long sterling silver belcher/rolo chain.
