[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9529294, member: 2844"]Just to clarify, the value of amber depends on many factors. Colour and shape are some. In general, amber that looks like it just washed up on the shore, though beautiful, only goes above $60 when it is a large chunk. Yours has that washed up look, and I like it, but it isn't very valuable. The colour is desirable though, and it has a nice amount of dangles, but still under $100 imo. I've been searching for amber jewellery like yours. I can't find exactly the same, but to me yours looks influenced by Latvian fok jewellery, and these are Latvian, with a similar combination of 'rough' and pressed amber, so you get an idea: [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1380142880/old-pressed-and-natural-baltic-amber-and?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=baltic+amber&ref=sr_gallery-8-5&referrer_page_guid=e1d491f6-0eba-4362-b4e9-62db1748ff6e&organic_search_click=1[/URL] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1374574635/1960s-vintage-brooch-baltic-amber?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=baltic+amber&ref=sr_gallery-2-27&sts=1&referrer_page_guid=4ba574c3-562e-4fb4-ad72-e7c9b883684a&organic_search_click=1[/URL] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1522586896/folk-style-amber-brooch-tradicional?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=baltic+amber&ref=sr_gallery-7-42&cns=1&referrer_page_guid=45196ac7-2ee3-4700-92e9-d19674d2c050&organic_search_click=1[/URL] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1352665934/old-natural-baltic-amber-womens-retro?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=baltic+amber&ref=sr_gallery-4-42&referrer_page_guid=ac62769a-722b-4d95-b9dc-16d5292224b5&organic_search_click=1[/URL] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1534127115/tradicional-folk-style-amber-brooch?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=baltic+amber&ref=sr_gallery-4-29&referrer_page_guid=ac62769a-722b-4d95-b9dc-16d5292224b5&organic_search_click=1[/URL][/QUOTE]
