Amber

Gram per gram yellow amber beads are more valuable than gold.  This is a fact of which many are unaware since only recently they were worth very little.  Bidding from China and Middle Eastern countries in particular has pushed up prices to a level undreamt of only 20 years ago.

These strings of amber beads were sold by Mellors & Kirk for a total of £21,000.

Mellors & Kirk has become well known to bidders as a source of this alluring, auspicious material.

Amber is included in all Mellors & Kirk Sales, including our curated two-day monthly Antique & Collectors Sales.
