AMBER ACCESSORY MAKING CLASS

Hi, my amber class is coming again. It will start on 24th June for 3 lessons. Location remains at Richland Ceramics Studio, Wanchai.Details please refer to attached photos.

金黃婆羅乃柯巴Golden Borneo Copal

 

買了3kg的婆羅乃柯巴, 盡見前文所見的實色或深啡透明, 60多件原礦裡只有這一件是金黄透明,

表面的釘頭也多亦深, 其中一角有內裂, 不致會脱落, 但不太美觀, 打磨暫且停住, 有idea才再進一步處理!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

6 rings

I had made 6 rings. The ring is stainless steel with square shape. I used the small chips from Dominica amber, Borneo & Blatic one. The Blatic one are the original sea amber.

過程 PROCESS

從一件原礦、打磨拋光、到成為一件吊咀. 打磨前約30g, 吊咀現在20g.
This is the process from a raw amber, polished & be an pendant. Weight of the pendant is 20g. I forgot to measure the weight before polished, it was approx. 30g.

 

中國琥珀?? China Amber?

中國琥珀只有潦寕省的撫順出產, 由於撫順也是產煤區, 故此渗有雜色不出為奇, 撫順的金黃透明琥珀更稀有及珍貴. 購入這批琥珀的時候, 店主稱是中國來的. 雖然質地很相似, 有紅、黑及帶樹紋花珀. 始終還有點保留是否中國琥珀, 因與婆羅洲的幾相近.

When I bought this lot of amber, seller said that it is from China. Although the texture are quite silmilar, they has difference colors of red, black, mixture of brown & white. I'm still doubtful if they are from China. Since the texture is a bit close to Broneo's one.
p.s. In China, the only place produce amber is in FuShun of  Liaoning Province, where also produce coal. So it is very usual that the amber mixed with other texture & colors. The golden clear one is very rare.

Stainless Steel Bangle

Stainless steel bangle, covered with wooden slice & stuck difference colors of amber from Blatic, Dominica & Indonisia.

螺 spiral shells

兩件都是印尼珀. 紅珀9.3g. 黃珀29g. 始終是young amber. 質地未算穩定, 尤其紅珀表面還不斷風化. 
Both are Indonisia young amber. Red one is 9.3g & yellow is 29g. Surface of the red one is still changing, not stable.
