This is a Fabulous Tibetan Silver Embellished Copal Amber Bracelet. Copal Amber beads are not the same as amber beads. Copal is also a tree resin, but it has not completed the fossilization process. It tends to be more opaque . A powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser, Amber draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels. Amber aids in physical self-healing, and the emotional healing of depression. Tibetan jewelry pieces are made with technique of Repoussé and chasing on silver, brass and copper. Repoussé is a metalworking technique which is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side of metal sheet. While Repoussé is used to work on the reverse of the metal to form a raised design on the front, chasing is used to refine the design on the front of the work by sinking the metal. The motifs and designs are created by hammering on the metal sheet after putting the resin and wax underneath. Chasing is the opposite technique to Repoussé, and the two are used in conjunction to create a finished piece such as beads, pendants, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. This method is beautiful on the front as well as the back. This would be a wonderful Bracelet for someone special.
