Collections
The latest collections and selected interesting realisations from the offer of Polish and foreign manufacturers and designers of jewellery decorated with amber. Further proof that amber is an attractive jewellery material.
Amber „Labyrinth”
The labyrinth - one of the more symbolic and recognisable works by Professor Andrew Boss - embodies the idea of European amber routes.
Maria and Paweł Fietkiewicz
It may happen that today this ring will no longer arouse admiration. However, it is worth knowing that its creators went down in history as the founders of the so-called Polish school of amber and silver, creating sophisticated, unique artistic forms in the 1960s.
Jaroslav Westermark: Golden Amber
He became interested in Baltic amber over 40 years ago simply because... he wanted to make unusual jewellery. In those days, it was an extremely difficult challenge - to make interesting, ambitious jewellery from a material that was very common. He succeeded, as evidenced, for example, by numerous awards in design competitions.
Krzysztof Bondaruk: Black Orchid
While orchid experts argue about whether the black orchid is a creation of nature or just an artificially bred flower, Krzysztof Bondaruk settled the issue several years ago - his „Black Orchid”, created from carbon fibre, amber and diamonds, really exists.
Wilhelm Tasso Mattar
He was pushed towards Baltic amber by his love of organic materials, which he often used in his works. He discovered that amber too - properly polished - is a graceful material for storytelling.
Helfried Kodré
The artistic language of Helfried Kodré, Austrian sculptor and jewellery maker, is based on geometric forms, which he sees as the perfect combination of matter and spirit, space and time.
Michael Zobel - amber as a lens
What is so fascinating about amber that even the most famous and respected jewellery designers reach for it? What did German artist Michael Zobel see in it?
Pawel Was: AMBER DIVALI
The warm light shining through the amber and the desire to capture it forever became the inspiration for jeweller Pawel Vasya to create the AMBER DIVALI amber and diamond pendant - after a decade still stunning in its classic beauty and mastery of workmanship.
Jacek Baron: mechanical jewellery
This is certainly one of the most spectacular contemporary collections of jewellery with amber, captivating in its design and surprising, unprecedented technical solutions in jewellery. Each piece is extraordinarily labour- and time-consuming - which is why only nine have been created so far.
Borga - a symbol of modern ambering
The Borga - a spectacular bracelet made of amber cubes - has become synonymous with elegance and the strength that comes from a large form. But also a symbol of modern, Polish amber art - in an impressive way breaking the stereotypes associated with this stone.
RUUDT PETERS: SUCTUS
„I hate amber because it has too much emotional value and it crumbles so easily,” declared Dutch artist Ruudt Peters. Everything changed when he made his first work with amber, 'Suctus'. Today he says: I love amber and the romantic way many artists see it.
ambershop.pl - virtual gallery and shop in one
ambershop.pl is first and foremost a unique gallery showcasing pieces from the private collection of amber wares belonging to Tomasz Mikołajczyk, a well-known connoisseur of amber art, collected over the last 20 years. Should anyone lose their head for them, they can become their new owner.
Studio DF: We like to play with jewellery
„With us, the starting element for jewellery design is the shape of the amber stone, which we want to highlight in the best possible way," says Donata Kuryłek of Studio DF. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of the products created by the company are unique.
Marta Włodarska
In her latest collection, the designer continues the trend of combining natural amber with natural wood, which has become a kind of defining characteristic of her style. „I love these two materials because I am fascinated by their insides, by the possibility of discovering what has been hidden for thousands or even - as in the case of amber - millions of years,” - she explains.
Gin Atelier
„In life, we want to do what we like. And that is why we make jewellery,” say Emilia Górna and Dorota Cenecka, who create Gin Atelier, in unison. The word gin here by no means means means the popular juniper-based spirits, but from the Japanese - silver.
Tadeusz Dobkowski
The Amber Gallery has been in existence for over 15 years, although the family amber traditions go back almost four consecutive decades. They are currently not only nurtured by Tadeusz Dobkowski, but also developed - with particular emphasis placed on creating original forms and designs of the highest quality.
Adam Łyszkowski
Although his favourite materials are precious silver and gold, and he has mastered goldsmithing techniques to perfection , he has recently been promoting non-precious hybrisol - a material visually similar to volcanic lava. Lightweight and visually appealing, it is therefore perfect for jewellery.
Monika Miodek
„I know what I want and this awareness allows me to achieve my goals, even if the road to them is sometimes bumpy," says Monika Miodek, a fourth-year student in the Department of Jewellery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. But just a few years ago, she did not have this awareness: when she started her artistic education in Łódź, she was convinced that her goal was to design clothes - it was...
Woytek Rygało
Surprising ideas, a sense of humour and detachment in jewellery (as in life), technical inspiration - these are the hallmarks of Woytek Rygało's work. He has been designing jewellery for over 30 years, but his work was only noticed and appreciated over a decade ago. It is in the last decade that designs have been created that already hold an important place in the history of contemporary art....
Michal Wysocki
This year's graduation work by Michał Wysocki at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź in the Department of Jewellery. Modular bracelets - a collection of bracelets consisting of modules that allow the width of the bracelet, texture, colour and thickness to be freely configured depending on the elements used. Simple interchangeability of the modules is a prerequisite for the idea to be put into practice. It is possible to expand with further new element shapes ...

Its topic was „A jewellery collection inspired by the art of the early 20th century". Specially for the amber.com.pl portal, the designer described his work.
