The Chinese and the Arabs would lose their wits for amber and were ready to pay any price for a beautiful nugget or unique jewellery. Unique, meaning a piece that no one else had, based on the most beautiful nuggets set in line with the tastes of these customers, namely in delicate gold or gilded silver settings in combination with precious stones.
