captive, but from which I do not wish to escape. I also design and produce unique office decorations,
special pieces and works for religious purposes. My art can be found on every continent. Each piece

Aleksander Gliwiński
Aleksander Gliwiński has been dealing with amber for over 20 years. He has been designing and
producing jewellery showing and emphasizing the natural beauty of the gemstone. Amber is even
more valuable to him than diamonds mostly because it can be extremely inspiring, sometimes even
creating a base for the entire collection. The benefit seems to be reciprocal frames designed using
mainly silver and leather thongs are skilfully matched and fantastically emphasize the values of
amber nuggets.

Cezary Łutowicz
For 35 years Cezary Lutowicz has promoted striped flint. He has resurrected it after four thousand
years of being forgotten and turned it into a jeweler's stone. Striped flint is also referred to as the
Polish diamond, as Poland is the only country in which it occurs in nature. This decorative version of
flint is distinguished by concentric, regular dark and light layers or streaks, often creating beautiful
patterns. Jewelry with striped flint is appreciated around the world, and is worn by such stars as
Robbie Williams and Victoria Beckham. It is sold by the most respected companies and jewelers.

left in its natural shape is the calling card of her jewelry. It is nature, hidden in the treasures thrown
up by the Baltic sea during storms: amber and wood…
