Andzia's Amber Jewelry and Beads Store (Poland based) by porkchops
It says on the site: www.amberjewelry.com that she's certified and all. Anyone have any experience with ordering from her? Is her amber really legit? Or any further information? (Since a lot of you guys have connections probably...) Looks like she has some really nice stuff there too.
