Guaranteed Quality

Vessel International is recommended by the International Amber Association and carries its seal of approval on all our amber jewelry. The Association, which was formed in 1996, brings together miners, traders, scientists, jewelry designers, collectors, and all those interested parties connected to the amber industry.

The aim of the International Amber Association is threefold:

To promote Baltic amber worldwide, spreading knowledge about its unique values in the fields of beauty, healing, science, and culture.

To protect against forgeries.

To develop trading policies.

As a member of the International Amber Association, Vessel International is required to uphold the highest standards in the amber industry. It guarantees that all of its amber products are solely of succinite (Baltic amber); it never sells surrogates of pressed amber or synthetic resins; its jewelry is set in precious metals and their alloys; and it observes the rules of fair trade (no price dumping, stealing of designs, or represented falsehoods).

All of Vessel's jewelry is checked for quality before leaving Poland, and then re-checked once it arrives after customs clearance. We guarantee that the amber is Baltic in origin and first quality, gem quality. The workmanship is guaranteed for one year with normal "wear-and-tear". If, by chance, you receive any defective jewelry or pieces with which you are not completely pleased, call us within 10 days of receipt of your order for a return authorization. We promise to replace the item (if possible) or credit your account.
