The treasure of nature - amber

In recent years, amber has become the new darling of the collection and jewelry market, both the object itself and its price have been touted by the market. Good amber is now available at a high price, and the quality of amber is also very small. Why is the market so obsessed with this natural treasure, let us comb the amber development path to see some of the reasons.

There is such a way to believe that the Chinese will not forget that it is the ancient "Silk Road", and this trade route has brought prosperity to China and brought the natural treasure "Amber". In fact, in ancient Europe, there was also an "Amber Road" comparable to China's "Silk Road", and the "Amber Capital" on the Baltic Sea coast - Gdansk, it is this ancient European One of the starting points of the business road.

Europe's "Amber Road" has a long history. According to research, as early as 2000 BC, savvy Mediterranean merchants began to purchase amber in the Baltic region, and then shipped back to the Mediterranean to sell to the nobility. At that time, this crystal clear gem was very popular with the nobility, and its price was not lost to gold. With the development of the amber trade, the “Amber Road” has gradually formed and continues to expand and expand, even in Asia and India and China. The "Amber Road" has finally become an important business channel connecting Eurasia. For Europeans, the importance of the "Amber Road" is almost identical to the "Silk Road", because the traders engaged in the amber trade not only bring amber to the east, but also bring oriental crafts, technology, etc. back to Europe, so The "Amber Road" can be said to be an important channel to promote the exchange between the East and the West and the development of ancient civilizations in addition to the "Silk Road."

Amber, the reason why it was loved by the nobility in ancient times, is not only related to its gorgeous and gorgeous colors, but also because of its special healing and health benefits. The oldest amber on earth is a product from about 300 million years ago. In the ancient times, the "resin" on the trees was extremely rich. After the vast expanse of the sea, these "essence of trees" formed the amber of today under the dual pressure of hundreds of millions of years of pressure and heat. Ancient Europeans believed that amber can exorcise evil and avoid evil, so it is often carried as a talisman. Although this habit was originally based on legends, later medical research proved that amber still has certain medical effects. During the Roman period, Europeans used amber to prevent goiter and later used to treat neuralgia and arthritis. Coincidentally, according to the theory of Chinese medicine, amber also has a certain medicinal value, can be silted to stop bleeding, calm and soothe the nerves.

The amber produced by the countries along the Baltic Sea has a history of 40 million years. Although their "years" are not hundreds of millions of years, their output accounts for more than 90% of the world. Gdansk, located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, has become an important center of amber trade since ancient times due to its rich amber raw material. Today, it is still known for its advanced processing technology and exquisite workmanship of amber jewelry, known as the "Amber Capital". Every spring, in Gdansk, the International Amber and Jewelry Exhibition, known as the "Amber Festival", has been held for 19 years. The “Amber Festival”, one of the largest amber exhibitions in the world and one of the most important jewellery fairs in Central and Eastern Europe, attracts a large number of jewelers from all over the world every year.

Amber's development has gone through the "Amber Road" until now, and it is still loved. It also shows that amber is worthy of possession in both collection and medicinal value. Modern people pay more attention to the standard of living. The objects such as amber can change the collection channels, and the second can be good for the body. Under such a market background, it is not surprising that amber is once again favored by consumers. In the future, amber will be more popular, just to remind amber miners to be sustainable and to make natural treasures have a longer-term development.
