Today, amber is regarded as a symbol of luxury and sophistication, probably owing to its use as an important ingredient in high-end perfumery. The term ‘amber’ is usually used to describe rich, warm, musky, honey-like smells. It also implies an exotic oriental nuance. In fact, the organic beauty of amber has been appreciated since Neolithic times. The most valuable Baltic amber is 30 to 50 million years old. Amber was also called Northern Gold or Electra due to its electrical properties and golden color and was traded far in the ancient world. Asian cultures considered it a symbol of courage and name it the 'soul of the tiger', while to early Christians it signified the presence of the Lord.

Amber symbolizes power, authority and command. It is believed that it brings victory and helps in overcoming competition and obstacles. Amber is also traditionally valued for its healing powers. Even today it is thought that wearing amber jewelry will make the bearer more confident, balance his or her mood, and lessen anxiety and depression.
