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.

Luminous pearls evoke white lily buds that tumble joyously down a flowing waterfall. In this elegant necklace, Angels of Thailand creates a dramatic design using the sterling silver ball chains that distinguish her creative style.
