20th Century Amber Bead Capsule Celluloid Dr Andrew Ross Fake Fossil Fossilised Jewellery Necklace Ross
EDITORS COMMENTS
Fig. 11: An Edwardian-inspired necklace adorned with an enchanting collection of non-authentic amber beads. This piece, a tribute to the opulence of the early 20th century, is composed of various materials including celluloid, phenolic resin, casein, and glass beads. The orange hue of these beads, while not derived from fossilized tree resin, evokes the warm and rich tones of genuine amber. Amber, often referred to as the "fossilized sun," has long been cherished for its unique beauty and historical significance. As a natural time capsule, it preserves ancient organisms and offers a glimpse into Earth's distant past. However, the increasing demand for amber during the Edwardian era led to an influx of imitation amber beads, often made from celluloid, phenolic resin, casein, and even glass. This necklace, a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the time, showcases the artistry of the 20th century. The beads, while not fossilized, capture the essence of the Edwardian era with their intricate designs and vibrant colors. The necklace's timeless appeal transcends the limitations of authenticity, offering a unique and alluring alternative to genuine amber jewelry. Dr. Andrew Ross, an expert in the field of amber research, notes that while these imitation beads may not possess the same historical significance as their authentic counterparts, they still hold value as a reminder of the fashion trends and cultural influences of the Edwardian era. This necklace, with its rich history and captivating allure, continues to inspire and delight, serving as a testament to the enduring appeal of amber and the ingenuity of the past.
