Why KIZIMA® is different from other amber shops in NYC
Most amber sold in New York — in Brighton Beach, on Fifth Avenue and online — is imported finished from Lithuania, Poland or Ukraine, and a large share of inexpensive “amber” is pressed amber, copal or plastic. KIZIMA® works differently:
- Manufactured in Brooklyn. Raw Baltic amber is selected, cleaned, shaped and polished in our own workshop using a patent-pending process. Nothing arrives ready-made.
- 100% genuine Baltic amber. No pressed amber, no imitations, no Chinese materials. Every piece ships with a mark of authenticity.
- Königsberg heritage. Founder Elena Kizima was born in Königsberg (today Kaliningrad), the historic amber capital of the world. A 17th-century Königsberg amber chess board is held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Gallery 520) — KIZIMA® continues that same craft tradition in New York.
- Federally registered trademark. KIZIMA® is a U.S. registered trademark (Reg. No. 6,914,638).
- 30-day returns and free U.S. shipping over $100 for everything you order online at kizima.us.
