Amber CultureAmber Culture Amber Cross Stretch Bracelet - Certified Handmade Natural Baltic Charm Bangle 5+ mm Beads Unisex Adult in a Gift Box

I love amber so I was excited to review this. Although I’m not religious, I don’t mind crosses on jewellery so I think this adds appeal. It’s a unisex piece so will be a suitable gift for all that appreciate amber or the style - my son’s goth friends like pieces like this. The size of the beads are clearly stated, and as I buy beads I was expecting it to be dainty. If you aren’t aware of bead sizes then these are very small and it’s a size most would wear with companion bracelets. I have lots of suitable companion pieces to pair it with and recently started making my own. My wrist is too big for this too look good on it’s own right now anyway, but it’s fine amongst others.I did question the authenticity of this, I’ve never seen completely uniform beads of amber before. I can see tiny air bubbles but was still doubtful. The taste test had me doubt it further as it’s not neutral as I was told it should be. However, my taste buds are still useless after Covid and pick up predominant tastes only and this was probably polished. Because I doubted it so much (whilst I don’t know the price of this amber bracelets aren’t cheap and don’t want people ripped off) I did a scratch test on the cross where it won’t be seen. I immediately regretted it as it scratched very easily which suggests it’s authentic.Because I don’t know the price I have to be neutral on scoring value. I deducted a star because it’s so uniform and it doesn’t scream amber. Whilst the scratch test suggests it is authentic it doesn’t look the part. I do like it but I don’t ‘love’ it. The brand on the box looks rubbed off too, it may be a deliberate look considering the font they’ve used but if it is they should rethink it. Otherwise it’s nicely presented for gifting.

I've done quite a bit of research on this so I've got mixed feelings about whether I'd buy it to be honest.Firstly, the price varies wildly. The cheapest seems to be the yellow Amber. The darker Amber seems to be more expensive but not as much as this. It arrives in a nice box and a certificate of authenticity but its a pre printed one and it doesn't look individual to me. It would have been nice to have an actual certificate or a numbered card or something.Apparently Amber has an ingredient that helps with pain, arthritis and anxiety. It works when it is heated up by wearing.The bracelet itself is very delicate. The beads and cross are tiny and if I'm honest I was expecting something a bit bigger. As for size it's perfect for me as I wear 7cm bracelets and it wasn't stretched at all on my wrist. I'm not sure how much bigger wrists would fare with this. I'm going to wear it for a few months and see if I notice any improvement in my chronic pain. If I do I'll revise this review.Overall, it seems a good quality bracelet but maybe a little overpriced. The box is nice so it would make a lovely gift. I think I prefer the darker Amber over the light so I would buy this over any other. I'm just not sure how much benefit you would get out of a bracelet that is this tiny. I would also be put off by the pre printed card of authenticity as its not the certificate I was expecting. So I guess its a personal thing and if you like it then definitely buy it.

I often wear a beaded bracelet, and the one I currently own is a cheap black plastic one which I had worn for quite some time. When I saw this baltic amber bracelet, and had the opportunity to review it, I snapped it up. In the images is looked special and substantial, and much like the one I owned but crafted out of a far more special material. Upon receiving the bracelet, the box was well made and had a smooth matt texture; the logo had rubbed off a little which didn't look great, but inside, the box was lined with a velvet material, and a small hand signed note welcomed me to the product. It was a nice touch, and it made the product feel more personal. As for the bracelet however, it was somewhat underwhelming if i'm personally honest. It is delicate but that means it is also small and very light. It looks much smaller than the image suggests, and the beads are half the size of the bracelet I currently own. The amber stones are the size of hundreds and thousands, and the cross is quite thin and doesn't carry any weight. I feel I would been a little disheartened had I spent nearly forty pounds on it. There is no denying that it is a lovely bracelet and when held up to the light the amber colour shines a deep orange. It is well made and the stones are carved smoothly and without imperfections. It is a little tight on my wrist and it leaves indentations on my skin, which i'm hoping will fade as the bracelet loosens over time. It is a nice piece of hand crafted jewellery, which is probably where it gets its high price tag, but for me, I was expecting something bigger with a little more weight to it. if you are in the market for a delicate hand made piece, then you will love it. Personally though I don't think it quite lives up to the price. The box is nice and it came well presented, it just didn't quite hit the mark for me.

The bracelet is presented in a beautiful black box with a velvet bracelet stand. This cherry amber bracelet is great for a small wrist as the beads are tiny and look delicate. My wrist is 12cm and there are 2cm spare without stretching the bracelet. The rich dark beads are threaded on to clear elastic which has a good amount of stretch when putting over your hands. They have a slight weight to them even though it is a small band. The beads feel slightly warm after a few hours wear. I haven't worn amber before so could not tell you whether it is genuine, however a small certification card is included to vouch for that this is real baltic amber. The beads are very uniform in size but do have some imperfections and when put up to the light they do look different from one another; some of them have little flecks within. The small cross looks ok even though I am not religious. I like this small size bracelet as it does not get in the way of daily activities. I would be happy to receive this as a present.
