Vintage Butterscotch Amber and Sterling Earrings

Stunning vintage rare butterscotch amber earrings. Measure approximately 1 1/2 inches. Butterscotch amber is characterised by its milky white to creamy yellow shade. It is often also referred to as Royal Amber, Antique Amber, Yolk Amber and even more simply, White Amber or Yellow Amber. But how is it that this white Amber resin is so different from its more common orange Amber cousin. Following much technical research, it has come to light that the opaque nature of Butterscotch Amber is caused by tiny bubbles trapped within the resin, originating from the trees on which it once lay. As seen under an electron microscope, Butterscotch amber consists of clear resin with millions of dispersed bubbles. It is the reflections of light that cause the stone to appear a milky colour. Review all photos thoroughly as they are considered a part of the detailed item description.
