Amber's pressing technology has been around for centuries. From the 18th to the 19th centuries, the cost of making pressed amber was relatively high, and the cost of pressing amber even exceeded natural amber. The product made from large pieces of beeswax made from a small piece of amber wax gives a more "full wax" feel, and at the time the production cost was relatively high. At that time, the price of pressed beeswax in Europe was once higher than Natural beeswax, so a large amount of pressed beeswax was made. When the Chinese liked the old beeswax, they bought antique beeswax from Europe. At that time, the old beeswax suppressed by Europeans was also bought back together.
