The word amber is derived from the Arabic word "anbar" and has been used for ornaments, mainly beads, since the Bronze Age. It is thought of as a mystic stone possessing magical properties, and has been long used as an amulet especially in the middle and far east.
The Cobra & Bellamy collection is primarily antique amber made in Europe in the 19th and early 20th century; rich golden necklaces and delicate drop earrings.
