Among the natural precious stones, amber is the most ancient. Also known as �Danish gold�, this beautiful petrified resin dripped from prehistoric trees and into the ground. Over the next several millions of years it hardened into amber and was then buried under the earth or was washed out to sea. The Trollbeads artisans have found, grained, and polished the unique stone to be some of the most diverse and extraordinary beads in the Trollbeads collection. The beauty of these beads speaks for itself; however, once you learn of the multi-step process used to create an amber bead, you�ll value each of the Trollbeads as much as the artists do. We are sure that you will enjoy learning more about the process. The amber Trollbeads are truly amazing works of nature and man, with each one being unique. We are proud to present our silver-lined amber beads in no less than four warm and rich colors. Each one of our Trollbeads sets are magnificent -- just take a closer look!
