The fair housed 210 exhibitors, and was visited by more than 2,800 buyers from 39 countries, most of them from Poland, Russia, China, Lithuania, Germany and Denmark. Among the many attractive features offered were a variety of jewellery and gems, and a compelling artistic and popular science programme to draw in visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amber trends<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, many exhibitors showcased contemporary designs with lighter forms, and classic styles in precious materials. Manufacturers always look for new design ideas which sometimes lead to surprising combinations \u2013 for example, some of the collections were composed with organic materials and steel. Such jewellery drew buyers\u2019 attention, but, as always, quality was on top of their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBuyers were most of all looking for top quality items\u2014in terms of both design and execution. These factors are decisive when placing orders,\u201d summed up Marcin Weso\u0142owski, owner of NAC Amber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S&amp;A\u2019s CEO Adam Pstra\u02dbgowski was of a similar opinion: \u201cThe development of a unique and distinctive design style combined with high product quality gives you prospects for further growth, but also a guarantee that, as an industry, we will continue to matter in the global jewellery market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6468 lazyload\" width=\"214\" height=\"522\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf.jpg 198w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf-123x300.jpg 123w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf-20x49.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fsafsaf-39x96.jpg 39w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Dominant with Equivalent Value pendant by Elz\u02d9bieta and Marek Paw\u0142owski (E&amp;M Marek Paw\u0142owski Art Jewellery)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New markets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the tools to build a global image of the Polish jewellery industry is the Polish fashion industry promotion programme, implemented by the Polish Investment &amp; Trade Agency (PAIH), with amber companies among the beneficiaries. Under the programme, Ambermart was visited by a group of buyers and journalists from India, China, Japan and the USA interested in the Polish jewellery and fashion market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jewellery manufacturer Neeraj Kayathwal from Mumbai believes that amber has every opportunity to conquer the Indian market: \u201cIn my country, there are many wealthy people who are open to global trends, and who will certainly like large, exclusive amber designs. Collaborating with the right people who know this market and its needs well will ensure success for Polish manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amber as the centrepiece<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambermart is not only about business: it is also about education in a wide range of amber-related areas. The knowledge required to make strategic decisions was provided to both the buyers and exhibitors at a marketing seminar delivered by the Oliwa Consulting Group, aimed at showing the tools required to build a brand in the context of online sales and creating an e-store from scratch. \u201cThe speakers presented the participants with solutions and ways to use free tools, along with opportunities to deepen their knowledge,\u201d summed up Maria Olszewska, the meeting\u2019s moderator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber plays an important role in various contexts, including jewellery, fashion, culture, history, nature, religion \u2013 and all of this was emphasised at the conference titled Amber\u2014Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow organised by the Je\u02dbdrzej S\u00b4niadecki Gdan\u00b4sk University of Physical Education and Sport and by the Stegna Municipality. \u201cSuch conferences are very necessary because they show how many opportunities there are for developing amber\u2019s potential. They also make it possible to exchange experience at an international level,\u201d summed up Jacek Olszewski PhD, the meeting\u2019s organiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design awards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, the Ambermart Most Beautiful Amber Jewellery competition generated plenty of excitement. The international judging panel comprised Belgian lecturer and artist Alain Roggeman; editor-in-chief of Moda w Polsce magazine, Lidia Przybylska; head of the Gdan\u00b4sk Amber Museum, Joanna Gra\u02dbz\u02d9awska; master goldsmith Marek Mikicki; and artist Andrzej Pacak \u2013 all chose the Dimitis necklace by Wojciech Kalandyk as the most beautiful piece. The Solidarnos\u00b4c\u00b4 pendant by Marcin Bogus\u0142aw and the Dominant with Equivalent Value pendant by Elz\u02d9bieta and Marek Paw\u0142owski (E&amp;M Marek Paw\u0142owski Art Jewellery) received honourable mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspiration was provided by Ambermart\u2019s many other side exhibitions, including the ones presenting ideas on amber by 29 artists from all over the world at the Gdan\u00b4sk Amber Biennial and in DNA Brussels\u2014Gdan\u00b4sk, which is the result of the work by Belgian designers Alain Roggeman and Delphine Perrache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both exhibitions were produced by the City of Gdan\u00b4sk Promotion Department, in partnership with the KIGB Polish Chamber of Amber Commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mariacka Street went dancing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambermart always features Mariacka Street artistic meetings, organised by the International Amber Association and the MTG SA Gdansk International Fair Co. This year\u2019s events were held under the campaign \u2018Mariacka Goes Dancing\u2019 and were exceptionally magical. From midday until late at night, the street was filled with dance shows, fashion and jewellery shows, meetings with authors and poetry, concerts, art previews, workshops and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are happy that the event enjoys such great interest: each year, there are more and more regular participants who know exactly what they come for as they take their comfortable seats on entrance terraces, in galleries and windows under the hospitable eye of the hosts. Amber attracts sensitive, artistic people, as can be witnessed at the Mariacka Street Festival,\u201d summed up Ewa Rachon\u00b4, the project director of the Ambermart International Amber Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 20th Anniversary Ambermart International Amber Fair will be held from 29th to 31st August 2019.
