Handmade Baltic Pressed Amber Komboloi with Sterling Silver & Silk Tassel

Handmade Baltic Pressed Amber Komboloi with Sterling Silver & Silk Tassel

This handmade Baltic pressed amber komboloi is a refined piece that combines the timeless aesthetic of amber with balanced proportions and comfortable handling. Designed for those who appreciate clean lines and well-shaped beads, it offers both visual harmony and satisfying weight in the hand.

The komboloi consists of 25 beads plus a “papas” bead, measuring approximately 10 × 11.8 mm. The geometry of the beads allows smooth rolling and a steady rhythm during use, enhancing the tactile experience. Their shape is carefully proportioned, contributing to a natural flow and comfortable grip.

The beads display the distinctive tone associated with what is often referred to as green Baltic amber, without appearing vividly green. Instead, they present a deep, warm hue with subtle internal tonal variations that create depth and visual richness. The quality of the pressed amber is exceptionally high, to the extent that visually it is not easy to distinguish from natural amber.

With a total length of 39 cm and a weight of 32 grams, this komboloi offers a satisfying presence without excessive heaviness. The weight distribution is balanced, making it suitable for daily handling. The sterling silver 925 fittings add durability and understated shine, while the silk tassel completes the piece with soft movement and traditional elegance.

This is a komboloi with well-formed beads, balanced weight, and a classic aesthetic, ideal for everyday use or as a thoughtful and elegant gift.
