<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 956548, member: 2844&quot;]Simply fashion and taste. </p><p>For instance egg yolk amber is much more sought after than cognac amber. Strange, because egg yolk amber only looks well on a few skin tones, whereas cognac amber looks great on anybody. But there you go.</p><p>Dark brown and black amber seem to be the least popular at the moment. </p><p>Shaped beads, especially round and &#039;olive&#039; ones are more popular than rough beads. Facet-cut beads, which were popular during the 19th and early 20th century, seem to be out. I have a few lovely antique facet-cut cognac amber necklaces with gold clasps. I am an old-fashioned girl, so I wear them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another fashion is rare blue amber, which is generally found in the Dominican Republic, Chiapas in Mexico, and Sumatra in Indonesia. In most regions that blue is the result of early forest fires discolouring the resin before amber was formed.</p><p>There is an extremely rare blue variety in the Baltic, which is the result of pyrite dust in the resin that formed amber.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
