Genuine Handcrafted
Amber Fossil Jewelry
Our amber fossil jewelry
comes directly from artisans
in the Baltic regions such
as Kaliningrad - Russia,
Vilnius - Lithuania and
Gdansk - Poland. We do not
buy amber fossil designs
from middlemen in Los Angeles
or New York or Europe. Each
amber piece is hand picked
and certified before we
even make a purchase. Our
experts have an eye for
the best amber and that's
what we attempt to bring
you each time.
There are about 3,000 catalogued
specimens of amber inclusions.
The best specimens contain
exquisitely preserved life
forms and command high prices
from private collectors
and museums.
What Does a Artisan's
Certificate Say?
There are various forms
of amber certificates varying
from the St Petersburg Institute
to the Amber Museum's certification
services, we accept a selected
institutions' certificates.
A sample artisan's certificate
with our latest amber fossil
lot says this:
"Hereby
we certify that the amber
articles designed and supplied
by us are made of genuine
Baltic amber with insects
crafted in Russian red gold
0.585 and sterling silver
0.925. The articles were
crafted by renowned "Folk-Masters"
in Lithuania and use exceptional
jewelry quality of genuine
Baltic amber in Russia.
The general range of the
amber used is between 35
to 50 million years."

The preservation of ancient
life in amber has fascinated
civilization through ages
and this mystical phenomenon
still attracts people to
get to know more about amber
and even and hold in hand
and wear - a piece of history
that is so ancient. Amber
is really an exquisite preservation
of ancient life within its
golden tomb. Perhaps amber
was an inspiration for the
Pharaohs to build the Great
Pyramids?
Ancient Specimen
DNA in Amber
Amber, or fossilized tree
sap, was made famous in
the movie "Jurassic Park".
It is a fossil resin and
can contain many preserved
insects and other animals
and plants that are tens
of millions of years old.
The odd inclusions that
are often seen in amber
usually add to amber's unique
look and in many cases greatly
increase its value. Modern
insects are not likely inclusions
in amber. Most of the insects
embalmed in amber are extinct
species.
