Maybe they ended up with all the yellow ones because nobody anywhere else wanted them?
I say this because selling yellow beads in my shop was always a problem and we waited for *years* for yellow to come back into fashion...
We noticed that some Japanese women like yellow! But no explanation why..

Hi Stefany,
I think one of the reasons some people don't appreciate amber is because it is often yellow, and a lot of people don't like, don't want to wear, or can't wear yellow. Personally, I like yellow a lot, and I love amber (but not as much as I love coral).
My expereince leads me to believe that dislike of yellow is only outnumbered by dislike of orange. I like orange too (a coral color, and also carnelian), but it's not up there on my list of likes. Nevertheless, some people really love orange. (If I don't mention this, we'll hear from those people.)

We never had a problem with orange, but after yellow the next least popular colour was white, followed by green, all opaque. White has had at least one revival since the shop closed, however.
Because of this I've often tried to redress the balance by making and wearing necklaces that are attractive, using those colours.

That may be, but have you, Jamey or anyone else seen those very small beads in so many shapes in other colors?
