Amberjewelry.com’s Holly Chmil Named Make Mine a Million $ Business™ National Event Pitch Winner.
Holly Chmil of Amberjewelry.com in Scranton received $1000 prize for her winning business pitch in a national competition vying for a spot in a renowned business growth program to help catapult her business revenue to $1 million.
Described as a cross between “The Apprentice” and “American Idol,” the M3 1000 pitch competition invites women business owners to deliver a two minute “elevator pitch” to a panel of small business experts and judges.
Scranton based Amberjewelry.com sells certified authentic Baltic amber & sterling silver jewelry from Poland. Chmil most recently appeared on QVC’s Artisan Crafted Global Silver Marketplace. Colorful Baltic amber jewelry, usually in a honey color, is a fossilized pine resin which is between 45-60 milllion years old. Amber has been worn as human adornment since Neolithic times. Says Chmil, "Wildly romantic, our jewelry is worn by the well-dressed woman who wants artisan jewelry as colorful and storied as she is."
Since being founded by Scranton native Andzia Chmil in 1995, the mom and daughter duo have delivered artisan crafted Baltic amber jewelry designs in limited quantities across the nation. The company is a certified member of The International Amber Association in Poland, guaranteeing the authenticity of their amber.
