What is Ottoman Amber ?

Ottoman amber is an artificial resin obtained by Ottoman craftsmen and rosary masters with special formulas in the 17th century and frequently used in products with antique properties such as various ornaments, prayer beads, walking sticks, tent buttons or umbrella handles. However, it was not produced after the Ottoman period and the formula of the material from which it was obtained is still not solved today.

Ottoman amber is very valuable because the material from which it is obtained is special and has survived centuries ago. Today, these materials can be reworked by masters to obtain a rosary. Ottoman amber prayer beads are extremely valuable products. For this reason, it is preferred by rosary collectors.

The reason why Ottoman amber is called Ottoman squeezed amber is that both contain phenol-formal dehit. However, the fact that both are phenol does not mean that they are exactly the same.

How to Tell Real Ottoman Amber?

Every valuable item is produced in a short time, and many fake rosaries are sold in the market under the name of Ottoman amber. In this case, rosary lovers are hesitant about who to trust and how.

First of all, it should be noted that since Ottoman amber is not a natural material, its authenticity cannot be determined by gemological tests. In this case, what needs to be done is to determine the material from which the rosary is made, the master and the seller. A written warranty must also be provided by the seller.
