Versatile and Beautiful Amber Rings
Amber rings are the perfect piece for everyday wear. Amber is tree resin, which has been fossilized, and it has been esteemed for its rich golden color and natural beauty for thousands of years. Amber that is of good quality is often used for making jewelry, and perhaps nothing showcases those pretty pieces of amber as well as amber rings.
Classy, understated, and very beautiful, amber rings are a terrific accessory for men or women. Often, a piece of amber is set in white gold or sterling silver as the contrast is so stunning. Whether an intricate filigree setting is chosen or a simple clasp, an amber ring is sure to enhance any outfit and compliment any skin tone.
There are a range of different colors when it comes to amber. The typical color associated with amber is a pale golden yellow-brown-orange shade, but amber can appear almost white, to pale yellow, deep brown and nearly black colors. More rare is the red amber, green amber and the extremely rare blue amber. Some amber is cloudy, some is clear. Some has inclusions, which are particles of matter trapped in the amber. These inclusions are often sought after in amber rings as it gives them a unique look, and adds depth and sparkle to the piece.
Amber also comes in different types. There is Baltic amber, which is the most common type found, and Dominican amber, which is usually nearly transparent. The more rare forms, blue amber and butterscotch Tibetan amber are considerably more expensive than the Baltic amber found in most amber rings.
The three stone amber rings that have gold, yellow, and green amber gems are exceptionally beautiful and versatile, matching many different outfits and seasonal clothing options. From marvelous floral amber rings, to sweet golden amber heart rings to the smooth and sophisticated ring designs, there are amber rings to go with every look.
Though amber silver rings are more popular as women’s jewelry, they are fabulous for men’s rings as well. In classic or modern styles, an amber ring can be a very masculine and impressive piece of jewelry that set off a man’s hand very nicely. Simple and elegant, amber works equally well for either gender when in an appropriate unisex setting.
Some amber rings are cut from a solid piece of amber and do not even have a metal setting or clasp, instead they are hollowed out so that the piece of amber itself becomes the ring. Amber rings are also available in pretty floral designs where each petal is a lovely piece of amber. Amber dangle rings are another unique style and these contemporary style rings feature small amber beads that dangle from the ring. Cameo rings are a very popular style that really does justice to a piece of amber. Large, square cut amber pieces in a solid, plain setting make a great masculine ring and delicate filigree settings clasping smaller shapes are more feminine and look magnificent with evening wear or casual clothing.
For every style and either gender, amber rings are an ideal piece of jewelry that offer color and class that will enhance any outfit and look magnificent on any person.
