Original Message:   Re: Burmese amber

Hi Paula, Here is an example from my collection of a necklace using the Burmese Amber. According to Oppi Untracht, in his book "Traditional Jewelry of India", Burmite (Burmese Amber), is a highly prized variety of amber found only in Burma, that was known to Chinese collectors as early as the Han dynasty, circa 206 BC to 220 AD. My necklace seems to have metal disc shape spacer beads made of aluminium or perhaps an alloy of sorts. I think they are very rich and lovely.
