    • Imitations versus amber

      Bardzo wysoka cena bursztynu powoduje, że imitacji jest ich coraz więcej i są one coraz doskonalsze. I niestety nader często sprzedawane jako bursztyn, co jest fałszerstwem. Jak je odróżnić? Wystawa „Imitacje kontra bursztyn” prezentowana na targach Złoto Srebro Czas tego nie powie, ale z pewnością uświadomi, jak łudząco są podobne do bursztynu.

    • Amber to Gold Silver Time

      Riding the wave of huge interest in amber products, the Warsaw Gold Silver Time trade fair is becoming increasingly amber-focused.

    • Wyrównany poziom PREZENTACJI

      Temat tegorocznej, 13. edycji Konkursu Biżuterii Artystycznej PREZENTACJE, który brzmiał „Zużycie sztuki”, miał być inspiracją do głębszego zastanowienia nad określeniem „sztuka”, jej dewaluacją i przemijaniem, ale także próbą dotarcia do jej prawdziwej istoty. Jak się to udało?

    • Jewellery for winter

      When we think about jewellery for the autumn-winter season, muted colours and styles immediately spring to mind. But what if you could have jewellery that literally enwraps you in a pleasant-to-touch material and – metaphorically – warms you with the heat radiating from natural gemstones? It is possible.

    • Woman in the Lens of Maria Magdalena Kwiatkiewicz

      Restricted by modern perceptions of jewellery, we forget that originally, jewellery served many other functions besides aesthetic ones. This will be reminded to us – in an exotic style – by a photography exhibition by Magdalena Kwiatkiewicz and tribal jewellery from Africa and Asia, from her private collection, which will be presented for the first time at the Złoto Srebro Czas trade fair in Warsaw.
