there different between natural amber and press amber.
most buyer think press amber is a natural amber.
that is not true. some of the characteristic of natural amber get lost by making pressed amber like smell of amber with lemon and static electricity.
but press amber has less prices
I try to buy natural amber drilled (1.5 mm- 4mm) beads if I can find them. or pressed amber
I am now interested oval 10x 8 mm or 10 mm, 8mm,4mm round natural or pressed amber (black or brown, blue and other natural colored one) also buy gemstones.
if you have any for sale send me e-mail aknhw@comcast.net
My daughter (who is 10) made a few necklaces, and I told her I'd sell them for her. I would say they are really more just for the beads, as they are a little lopsided, but please take a look.
A heads up to all bead lovers that I am having a sale until the end of July on all my beads...its been one year since I started selling on eBay (I have 20+ years in the bead trade) and am still having fun with it...I have all kinds of quality beads including antique trade beads, gemstone beads, victorian era seed beads, amber,, handcrafted sterling and vermeil, findings and more.

The first time I ever went to a bead show I thought I was having a heart attack! When I walked into the room I felt light headed and my heart started pounding faster, I started to get hot, I thought I was going to faint. I felt sick. It didn't last too long though. Has this ever happened to anyone else? My husband says I'm obsessed. Is that bad? I'm not hurting anyone. I don't know maybe I am. All I know is I love to bead and making beautiful things from them!
