I recommend you look on ebay there is a seller that goes by Culturetaste, and what he brings to the market is truly remarkable, one would be lucky to own any of his pieces. He has a website too if you do a simple google search. If solid amber is out of your price range you can go with a pressed amber or a faturan type assuming it's new faturan because antique faturan can cost even more than solid amber. Even among the Greeks there are many who do not fully understand the beauty and pleasure of an amber komboloi, but most do.

Being Greek, I appreciate how strange worry beads must look to visitors. They DO work, though, and after a while you can't do without one. For those of you wanting to try one, take a look at our collection - all sizes, materials and price tags. We are always available for advice via email. Thanks again, and ENJOY!
