People often don’t understand amber and honeycomb. What is the relationship between them, and what are the differences? Which one is better? Today, I will sort out some materials to introduce some common knowledge and professional knowledge about amber and honeycomb to you, so that you can completely understand them. Take a look!

Misconception: Bee wax is better than amber. Many people who like to wear amber and honeycomb beads prefer bee wax, which is not controversial in itself. However, when elders talk about amber and honeycomb together, the biggest misunderstanding they cause is that as soon as they open their mouths, they say they want to buy bee wax. Even the basic common sense that bee wax is amber is not understood.

Which is better, amber or beeswax?

In fact, beeswax is a type of amber. In order to distinguish it, we unconsciously call the transparent one amber and the not completely transparent one beeswax. Like the blood amber we often see, it is a relatively transparent amber. We love amber because of its transparency, because we love to see the clarity of amber when it catches the light. This is also a way for us to distinguish the quality of amber. There are more people who truly love beeswax, and it often happens that friends tell me, why is the price of beeswax a little higher than that of amber, but there are more people who love it.

Difference between beeswax and amber:

1. Beeswax is not completely transparent, while general amber is. Beeswax is not completely transparent, with a color similar to honey and crystalline luster, hence the name ‘beeswax’. The common colors are only yellow and brown, and colorful beeswax is very rare. If the price is high, it is definitely tens of thousands of yuan. General amber is in a completely transparent state.

2. Higher than general amber, because beeswax has only been favored in recent decades, unlike other amber, which has been popular for many years. Moreover, the production time of beeswax exceeds that of general amber, so the total amount of beeswax is relatively small. According to the principle of ‘rarity is precious’, beeswax is much more expensive than general amber. For example, a honeycomb bracelet with 12 beads costs between 2000-6000 yuan, while a similar amber bracelet only costs 1000-2000 yuan.

3. Generally, amber becomes completely transparent after wearing for a long time. Nowadays, many businessmen pretend to sell fake beeswax by making ‘bone amber’ that looks internally full of residues and yellow with white, which is of very low quality. It becomes increasingly transparent after wearing for a long time. However, beeswax becomes increasingly shiny after wearing for a long time, with no change in internal structure, and a slow formation of packaging on the surface.

4. River embankment overseas beeswax, some stores sell amber with yellowish white fine cotton under the guise of ‘Russian honeycomb’ and ‘Baltic Sea beeswax’, deceiving consumers by saying it is beeswax. The real beeswax is mostly old, usually with very good packaging. The domestic beeswax is mainly produced in Fushun City, China, slightly harder than general amber, with a color of apricot yellow, and fine cotton inside.

5. Look at the crystal certificate, generally speaking, precious crystals today all have a crystal certificate, clearly indicating the material of the ornament.
