Featured What kind of Amber is this? Is it Amber?

From the same little shop; bought 30+ years ago.
The stone or glass or whatever it is has a crackle look on the inside, smooth outside. Instead of having the normal 925 mark, looks like a cow and a foreign (to me) symbol. Thanks for taking a look and your help. Patd

 

I think they're very nice, patd. I know nothing about the "stones" but I would sure like to see a larger version of your close up picture of the marks.

 

the stone pattern looks like an amber,but i don't know is it the real one or synthetic,but i don't know if the synthetic amber is widely use 30 years ago

 

I have amber earrings that look like this - I'm not saying that I know for sure yours are amber. I just know that amber is just fossilized tree resin, so it can take a lot of forms. Someone with more knowledge will be able to help.

 

baltic amber......?

 

I expect it is reconstructed amber.
Where they have pressed bits together.

 

A lovely set, patd.

I agree with cluttered, most likely reconstructed amber. When you see a lot of those 'spangles', the crackled look, it often is. Spangles occur naturally too, but with that many, I'd say reconstituted.
Probably Polish made, they love that Art Nouveau style, so Baltic amber.

If you want to sell them, you are allowed to use the word amber if it is all amber. But I would add the term reconstituted as well.

 

agree with you,i myself used to be a gemstone seller,just like you said i little bit doubt about the spangles.and the picture not too clear but for better result check it on jewellry store,good luck!

 

There are also simple ways of testing amber yourself. The easiest is the UV test, using a simple UV-flashlight. Never do anything that could damage the stones.
But having seen, collected and sold a lot of Baltic amber jewellery (an addiction), I'd say Polish reconstructed Baltic amber.

Here are some other tests:

Yup. Polish reconstituted, fairly new. That back is the giveaway. The sort of bumpiness to it.

 

This looks like the best I can do on the marks. Patd
