Pressed Amber Worry Beads

Amber is an organic material found in an array of colours and these differences in colour are a result of amber’s chemistry with the rest of the materials that it was fermented with, during its conversion from a liquid, sticky substance into a fossil. These colours range from intense gold to brown, red or even green and in terms of density there are a few variations, as well – transparent, semi-transparent or opaque. In terms of texture, it is quite smooth and warm to the touch and when it burns it releases a pleasant pine scent.

This is a set of opaque pressed amber worry beads. The beads are oval-shaped, like tiny barrels.

#ExtraTip: Amber is a delicate and sensitive material. Playing must be gentle. Pressed amber is a more durable material that is suitable for gently playing, while raw and antique amber needs more careful play. Amber is looking for a hand to love and feel it. Otherwise, the beads are likely to break.
