What Is Wedding Amber?
Wedding amber is fossilized tree resin, often warm yellow to orange, used in bridal jewelry and keepsakes. It is valued for its natural luster, light weight, and symbolic association with love and protection.
Types and Pricing of Amber for Weddings
Common wedding amber varieties include Baltic amber, Dominican amber, and copal. Prices depend on color, clarity, size, and craftsmanship. Simple amber beads or pendants are affordable, while large, high-quality pieces can cost more, especially if set in gold or silver.
Care and Buying Tips
Protect wedding amber from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and prolonged sunlight. Clean gently with a soft cloth and store it separately to avoid scratches. Buy from reputable dealers, ask about treatments, and request a certificate of authenticity when possible. For more on amber properties, see GIA Amber Overview.
