They carved phases of the moon, hunting seasons and the animals that they hunted on amber. The Neolithic man (4000-1900 B.C.) started using amber as decorative articles and jewels. The rich people of these societies usually owned amber jewelry and used to gift it to their friends and relatives.

Romans found use for amber only in the first century B.C to first century A.D, where they made rings and vessels out of amber. to read more click on amber
