amber j is a small family jewellery store in Redwood Valley, Tasman, named after the founder's daughter, Amber Jay. The website says the business was founded in early 2019 and places itself in the Nelson Bays. It sells Baltic amber, greenstone, gemstone and bone carving jewellery, and the shop says it holds New Zealand's largest range of amber teething necklaces, bracelets and anklets, all made from 100% genuine Baltic amber.
The website says the amber is sourced directly from the Baltic sea and its coasts, and that the suppliers are registered with the International Amber Association and test the amber regularly. It notes that amber is a fossilised tree resin and the lightest known gemstone, which makes it warm and comfortable to wear. The stock is kept in New Zealand, and customers can get in touch through the contact form or the shop's Facebook and Instagram pages. Our pick in Tasman for a teething necklace of genuine Baltic amber.
