Amber

Amber is actually a tree resin, and often contains insects or plant particles. Amber was often used as money and jewlery.

Amber was one of the first commercial products, and has been traded for centuries. It has been found in the form of pendants dating from the Paleolithic Era (c. 12,000 B.C.). Evidence of amber jeweller's workshops has been discovered by archeologists tied to the Neolithic period. During the 1st-4th Centuries BC, the Celts and Romans were great amber sellers. Amber was used in a number of different objects, including coinage.


We offer several types of Amber, to enchance your reenactment experience. You can use these Amber chips as money, jewlery, feality tokens, given as gifts, or just to display your wealth. The vikings wore their amber as a measure of their worth.
