Extremely Expensive Pressed Amber
Amber rosaries are divided into two main categories: pressed amber and Baltic amber. Contrary to popular belief, pressed amber is not a type of amber obtained by reprocessing amber dust. Pressed amber is a special stone produced by the interaction of amber stone with other substances, and the production of this stone was first carried out in the early 1700s. Although pressed amber was initially produced for use in light bulb sockets, it was later used in the jewelry sector. However, after the end of World War II, due to intense complaints about pressed amber changing color, its production was terminated. But with the cessation of production, the formula for pressed amber also faded into the dusty pages of history. For this reason, the value of pressed amber is extremely high. Pressed amber, in particular, left its mark on the late Ottoman Empire and was used by famous rosary masters in the production of rosary models. The changing color of amber rosaries over time is the feature that users like the most.
As Valuable As Real Amber
Since the formula of pressed amber has been lost, making it impossible to produce again, pressed amber has become as valuable as real amber. Although attempts have been made to reproduce it due to its increasing value, none of the new pressed amber samples produced have been as successful as those from history. The most beloved type of pressed amber is the one called Ottoman Pressed Amber. The only difference of this type from pressed amber is that it was processed by masters living in Ottoman lands during the Ottoman period. Pressed amber also exhibits the properties of Baltic amber, emitting a sharp pine scent when held to fire, just like real amber. Therefore, the authenticity of an amber rosary can only be determined by experts. Ottoman pressed amber rosaries are considered as valuable today as real amber rosaries and are purchased by rosary collectors at high prices. For pressed amber, there are also inexpensive rosary options available today, produced by pressing actual amber dust. Therefore, the price of pressed amber will be the most important data that can give you an initial idea about the authenticity of the rosary you are purchasing.
