Description
This vintage yellow egg yolk yellow amber sterling silver ring is a size 6. The amber cabochon measures 2 cm. x 1.1 cm. It is hallmarked 925. This type of amber is typically from Latvia. It came from the estate of an elderly woman in Vancouver who collected, and sold vintage jewelry for fifty to sixty years. She did not buy new, therefore it is difficult to determine the age and origin of some of the pieces.
Here is what AI says about macro images of this ring:
“The cabochon shows the creamy, opaque yellow-to-orangey color and soft, swirly internal patterns that are typical of “egg‑yolk” or butterscotch amber (fossil tree resin). The surface has a resinous, slightly oily sheen rather than the vitreous lustre of most silicate gems, and the stone is set in a vintage sterling‑silver style frequently used with Baltic amber pieces.”
