In February 2016, I founded Molly Cosmetics. It went viral in November of the same year with a trend-setting product called Silisponge. The success of the business was huge, literally overnight. It became very overwhelming to be carried on on my own, and unfortunately my anxiety and OCD was triggered. It was sad but necessary for me but I had to step away... I sold it, and have been taking a break since then.
After learning all the natural benefits of wearing amber, I founded Amber Projects in June 2021. Amber Projects carries jewelleries made of 100% natural amber and precious stones that are not in anyway treated or enhanced, preserving all the best properties of them, from affordable economical items to collector grade ones, carefully sourced around the World. By mid July, I have started to put amber together with other natural stones like crystal, jade, turquoise, peridot, tourmaline, obsidian, grey picture stone, volcanic rocks... and treaded on my jewellery designing journey!!! ! I am very happy to have your company along the way!
Amber is actually not a stone, but fossilized resin from evergreen trees. It looks and feels similar to a gemstone and is often treated as one, having been a popular element in jewellery for many years. Generally a golden or brown color, it is considered to be healing and soothing.
Amber is one of the first substances used for adornment, as it was discovered that they date back to the Stone Age. It is believed that these stones were used as amulets or talismans due to their healing properties.
The romans called this item succinum, as they believed it came from tree sap. In the Neolithic era it was considered to be an ornamental object. The Vikings considered amber to be tears of Gods, while the Greeks believed this stone represented tears over the death of Phaeton. So, all around the world, this stone gained popularity during the passing years since the Stone Age.
