Vintage Soviet Era Russian Baltic Amber Silver Earrings

The maker's mark identifies these earrings as from the Kaliningrad Amber Combine (Yantarny Kaliningradsky Kobinat), the primary producer of these items between 1950 and 1991. Featuring teardrop shaped honey amber, the stones suspend from decorative, scalloped silver tops. This modernist style was common between the 1960s and 1980s. Look at this stone under a microscope (see photo). It's amazing, Mother Nature's finest at work. Total weight 4 g. 2" length.
