Amber Listserv / Opinions wanted!

[Andy Ng]

Hi guys,

Because I've as much color-coordination skills as Stevie Wonder and probably
less fashion-sense than him, I'd like you opinions (particularly that of the
ladies) on the possibility of inlaying cut gems into white/beige amber.

Pictured are a batch of oval neon-blue apatites and a cab of white/beige
amber. I'm thinking of cutting little oval holes and inlaying those apatites
into the cab. The table of the gems will be nearly flush with the surface of
the cab. Of course, the number of gems will be moderate and won't overshadow
the amber. The possibility of forming an initial with the gems is also being
pondered.

DO let me know what you think. Will it fly or sink? Will it look good or
will it stink? Suggestions on gem/amber coloration combos are also most
welcome.

Andy
