Pomorskie region – where to buy the best quality amber jewellery?
Marilyn Monroe used to sing that diamonds were the girl’s best friends. Well, amber may surely compete with diamonds in the ‘girls’ best friends‘ department. It’s timeless, trend-proof and, when transformed into jewellery items, it adds some warmth and glow to our skin. Amber also evokes precious memories: the relaxing rustle of the sea waves, the heat of the sand, the sound of wailing seagulls. Therefore, decorating your body with amber brings you a double benefit: an exclusive ornament full of summer memories – an invaluable asset during long, winter months.
Where to buy the most beautiful amber jewellery? Just take a walk around the centre of Gdańsk go along Długa street, Mariacka street or along the Motława embankment – that is where the local ‘amber district’ is located, with lots of small amber jewellery shops. Amber, after all, is one of many things that the city of Gdansk is most famous for. To make the search easier, we selected several places in Pomorskie region which we would like to recommend if you want the genuine amber experience.
The Danuta Burczik-Kruczkowska Amber Workshop&Gallery
Where can one find the true Amberland? In Kąty Rybackie, a small fishing village at Mierzeja Wiślana [The Vistula Coastal Lagoon] It was founded by Danuta Burczik-Kruczkowska in 1995. Years of work on this raw material let her develop her own style, with nature itself shaping amber’s potential. Ms. Danuta doesn’t modify the shape of amber too much, instead polishing it subtly, extracting from it the essence of its natural beauty.
– I love amber, I am amber. Throughout all those years of working with amber, I teach people how to love it in its natural shape and its properties. Every amber is different, and every one is perfect. Thus, there is no need to transform it excessively – just appreciate its potential, and that is what I am trying to do in my works – says Danuta Burczik-Kruczkowska.
