Question about the International Amber Association?
On this website that sells Amber jewelry.. it says they are "certified"
Members of the International Amber Association. does this mean that they, by LAW, have to sell only genuine amber and prove its real from where they get it from? or can they easily get through by selling fakes and not get into trouble. does this mean they are overlooked to make sure they're selling real stuff? how does this kind of thing work anyway? are these really legit and do they really mean anything, or just some simple association to be apart of, and nothing that impressive? heres more information from their site: "Andzia receives her Certificate of Recommendation from the International Amber Association from Association President, Mariuscz Gliwinscy at Amberif 2002." More about it he http://www.amberjewelry.com/Certification.htm |

different depending upon what he or she has consumed during its
10 to 14 months of life... 4 well chosen cutlets (from the breasts of 2 healthy neonates) 2 large lemons (fresh lemons always, if possible) Olive oil Green onions Salt pepper cornstarch neonate stock (chicken, or turkey stock is fine) garlic parsley fresh cracked black pepper Season and sauté the cutlets in olive oil till golden brown, remove. Add the garlic and onions and cook down a bit. Add some lemon juice and some zest, then de-glaze with stock. Add a little cornstarch (dissolved in cold water) to the sauce. You are just about there, Pour the sauce over the cutlets, top with parsley, lemon slices and cracked pepper. Serve with spinach salad, macaroni and cheese (homemade) and iced tea... Spaghetti with Real Italian Meatballs If you don?t have an expendable bambino on hand, you can use a pound of ground pork instead. The secret to great meatballs, is to use very lean meat. 1 lb. ground flesh; human or pork 3 |

mixture into the baby?s flesh.
Place 1 quart water in a baking pan, the meat on a wire rack. Bake uncovered in 250° oven for 1˝ hours. When browned, remove and glaze, return to oven and bake 20 minutes more to form a glaze. Cut ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce. Fresh Sausage If it becomes necessary to hide the fact that you are eating human babies, this is the perfect solution. But if you are still paranoid, you can substitute pork butt. 5 lb. lean chuck roast 3 lb. prime baby butt 2 tablespoons each: salt black, white and cayenne peppers celery salt garlic powder parsley flakes brown sugar 1 teaspoon sage 2 onions 6 cloves garlic bunch green onions, chopped Cut the children?s butts and the beef roast into pieces that will fit in the grinder. Run the meat through using a 3/16 grinding plate. Add garlic, onions and seasoning then mix well. Add just enough water for a smooth consistency, then mix again. Form the sausage mixture into patties or stuff into natural casings. Stillborn Stew By definition, this meat cannot be had altogether fresh, but have the lifeless unfortunate available immediately after delivery, or use high quality beef or pork roasts (it is cheaper and better to cut up a whole roast than to buy stew meat). 1 |

Dear Spazzy-
We at Amberjewelry.com sell certified amber. We have been members of the Amber Association for years, and companies who get the certificate we have- only us and one other company (wholesale only) in the entire United States, have to be vetted by the board, voted on, provide letters of recommendation from board members, etc. If you would take the time to read the text of the certificate which is posted online, you will see exactly what is meant by this. It means we purchase amber jewelry only from certified companies that undergo rigorous testing & adhere to International Amber Association standards, period. Nor do we sell "ambroid" or pressed amber. What "law" do you mean-some kind of amber police? If there is such a thing, the Amber Association is it. We do not "easily get through by selling fakes and not get into trouble" & I can't say I appreciate the innuendo. You will find many companies who make up little "this is genuine amber" pieces of paper, however, we are not one of them. You should take the time to acquaint yourself about the International Amber Association, it is an interesting organization composed of scientists, producers, designers, etc. and it took us a very long time to EARN this certification.

Please READ the page you are questioning.
What is the International Amber Association? The International Amber Association, formerly known as the Amber Association in Poland, is a group which gathers the expertise of producers, tradesmen, merchants, artists & scientists from all over the world. The Certificate granted by the Association guarantees producers use only natural raw amber, properly processed to obtain the highest quality final product, free of artificial pressed amber. Unfortunately, the rising prices & popularity of amber goods stimulate the production of false amber, which is continuously improved & manufactured in ever-increasing quantities. Only infrared spectroscopy is a reliable indicator of amber authenticity. The Stowarzyszenie Burszytynnikow w Polsce (International Amber Association) grants such certificates to companies of unblemished reputation, additionally covering their production with expert supervision. Andzia's Amber is thrilled to announce that at this writing (November 2004), we are the only retail/wholesale outlet in the United States to become full certified members. CERTIFICATE No. 069 THE INTERNATIONAL AMBER ASSOCIATION HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT Andzia Chmil ANDZIA'S AMBER JEWELRY & BEADS 501 N. Blvd. Chinchilla, PA 18410 USA IS FULLY ENTITLED TO USE THE TRADEMARK OF THE AMBER ASSOCIATION REGISTERED AT THE PATENT OFFICE OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND. THIS CERTIFICATE IS VALID TILL 01st OF JANUARY 2005 The company enjoys the Association's recommendation and remains under its control in the following domain: 1. Manufacturing of goods solely of succinite-Baltic Amber 2. Refraining from the production of surrogates from pressed amber and other genuine and synthetic resins 3. Manufacturing of amber jewellery exclusively from precious metals and their alloys 4. The observance of the rules of fair trade. Signed Wieslaw Gierlowski, Chairman of Scientific-Information Commission & Mariusz Gliwinscy, President |
