yellow necklaces

This necklace designed by Lupita Betancourt features a pendant of two sterling silver circles, one solid and one with geometric cutwork. Three beads of natural Mexican amber dangle from the second circle. The pendant hangs from a collar made from a sleek band of sterling silver.

Natural amber is a fossilized resin, and no two pieces are alike in shape and color. Bits of moss and plant life may be seen within droplets of true amber.

"Those born under Leo are ruled by the sun, which is why I chose amber for this design," says Mariana Llanes about the design of this necklace from her exclusive Zodiac Collection. The natural amber holds a loving heart within. Mighty like the mane of a lion, the pendant is crafted by hand with sterling silver. It is believed that those born under Leo should surround themselves with all things golden in color.

When used in jewelry, amber beads can include a stunning arrangement of tones and hues. Natural amber ranges from yellow to deep orange. It may sometimes even have a green cast to it, as well as opaque swirls within. Because amber is the preserved resin of prehistoric trees that grew millions of years ago, it sometimes has tiny inclusions of plants and insects -- making it highly prized.

The alluring beauty of amber is captured in this beautiful necklace from Mahavir in India. A glowing piece of amber centers a sterling silver pendant with a butterfly motif. Evoking a captivating sunlit garden, the pendant flutters on a cable chain.

Due to the natural, organic origin of amber, please expect variations in color. Amber is a solidified resin which may contain fragments of fossilized plants, a testimony to its authenticity.
