Effects
If you are wearing an amulet of life saving and die, the amulet literally saves your life and restores full hit points. In the process the amulet disintegrates, and you lose 1 constitution point.
The amulet does not protect against death by self-genocide or death by brainlessness.
Generation
Amulets comprise 1% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 1% in containers, and 4% in hell. There is a 7.5% chance that a randomly-generated amulet will be an amulet of life saving. As you can see, these amulets are rare. However, there is a guaranteed amulet of life saving on the middle level of Vlad's Tower.
Identification
Monsters can wear amulets of life saving as well; they will simply come back to life after they die, and the amulet is from that point identified, providing you saw the revivification happen.

You killed a monster wearing the amulet. The amulet is identified. |
| "You kill the <monster>! Maybe not..." | You killed a life-saved monster out of direct sight. The amulet is not identified. |
Strategy
For an early character, an amulet of reflection may be a better choice, as reflection can save your life many times over (being life saved after a winter wolf cub's frost blast is no consolation if the winter wolf is still around).
Some players consider life saving an essential part of the ascension kit, but others call it the "amulet versus YASD" and point out that another amulet is much more useful. See Ascension kit#Armor combinations for a comparison.
Having your life saved breaks the survivor semi-conduct.
