Handmade Amber & Pearl World Map Gemstone Globe with Gold Stand

An exquisitely crafted 14" Amber & Pearl World Map Gemstone Globe. This stunning piece features an amber and pearl ocean meticulously created using a unique and complex process involving more than 30 semi-precious gemstones from around the world. Handcrafted by skilled artisans since 1996, each country on this globe is represented by a different stone, including lapis lazuli, mother of pearl, amethyst, African jade, tiger's eye, jasper, turquoise, purple quartz, onyx, unakite, abalone, green marble, and more. The stones are carefully cut, polished, and inlaid to create a striking and detailed representation of the world's geography. The globe is mounted on a beautifully ornate, 3-leg heavy gold brass stand, with a glass-topped integral brass compass at the base, adding both functionality and elegance. The stand is made from a zinc alloy core with gold plating, ensuring it remains rust-free and durable.
