Woe is me! I drpped this and this is the result. Has anyone ever tried to repair chipped amber?While there are other smaller chips on this, this one looks so raw and new and I`d rather at least disguise it. I don`t want it polished out.Does anyone have any suggestions as to materials that could be helpful? Gum arabic? Fimo clay?

  • 2506017753?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024Well, I know this might upset purists but I eventually disguised the chip a bit, I hope.

    This is the result of judiciously applied black oil paint and yellow glass lacquer.

  • I would only to smoothen it with very soft sand paper. Sorry !

  • Actually a very beautiful bracelet, it comes over to me as chinees, just the atmosphere around it. So solid.

  • No problem, Ingrid. I forgot to say, I did smooth it a little first. And my applications are quite easily removed.

    Thanks, I think it`s lovely, too, and is my most favourite bracelet. You are right about it being solid. Though it`s possible that it`s plaster filled.

    There has been discussion previously about the derivation of this bracelet ( I have earlier photos ). The silver, here unseen, portrays the Buddhist protective deity Chepu. I bought it from a seller who has been dealing in more upmarket Nepalese and Tibetan items for many years. It was actually described as Tibetan.
