These amber beads display warm honey, cognac, and deep caramel tones with natural translucence and organic internal inclusions typical of genuine amber. The smooth, rounded beads glow softly when light passes through, highlighting subtle variations in color and clarity across each strand. Their rich warmth and lightweight feel make them a timeless choice for earthy, vintage-inspired, and natural jewelry designs.

Clearly genuine Baltic amber. It’s absolutely beautiful in any kind of lighting. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. Pictures say more than I could ever write about it.
Beautiful, soft, warm. Definitely a splurge, but worth it. Lots of different levels of inclusions and shades. They are lighter weight than any wood beads I've worked with. These aren't "every bead flawlessly smooth and round" like all the stone and wood beads I've gotten from Tejas, there are a very small number of tiny surface anomalies, but that's the nature of the material. (If you look at the big photos on the site you can see what I mean.) It's part of what makes these beads so very organic feeling. They glitter and glow in almost any kind of light, and when I'm wearing the mala on my wrist, they're almost a heat source.
The holes are small - I seldom work with beads with holes smaller than 1mm. I have two beads (of the three strands I got) with holes that are notably smaller than others. I've set them aside to use in some other project - no bead reaming on these! I used doubled FF silk for the mala so that I could have two strands of safety, and that was tight. I knotted each strand individually and used bead covers, one over each thread's knot along with a Buddha head bead with a small hole, to terminate the strands because the hole in the guru bead was just too big for a termination knot using FF silk. Hence two places to hang tassels or amulets.
The left over beads are destined for a wrist mala...
Beads are from Tejas - baltic amber plus tiger eye spacers. Guru bead and findings from various internet locations.
These are really beautiful, they look exactly like the images in the listing. They have lots of variation in color and lots of inclusions, which I think add to the look. Again, they do look just like the pics in listing. Highly recommend these, they are also true to size.
Absolutely gorgeous! I have been looking everywhere for baltic amber beads and when i seen tejas beads had them i didnt hesitate to buy them.
