Amber Listserv / Opinions wanted!

[JOHN FUDALA]

This year at Ambermart three companies offered amber and diamonds jewellery.
They were Dejwis- Amber Diamonds Collection ( their most expensive piece
sold on first day of show to a Polish customer). S&A Amber Jewellery; the
Diamond Collection (10 fully commercial and manufacturable jewellery sets)
and New Amber Collection- faceted amber with diamonds (Amber set in gold
with diamonds).

"Such combination has already appeared several times in the history of
contemporary jewellery. Amber has been coupled with diamonds by such
designers as: Michael Zobel, Wilhelm Tasso Mattar, Jaroslaw Westermark and
Jacek Baron. The combination intrigues and inspires; it is, as Zobel says, a
combination of opposites. Perhaps it even takes our thoughts back into the
faraway and misterious depths of history. Arche? this is the title given to
his piece by Tasso Mattar. A boat sculpted in amber carrying a cargo of
diamonds. It is worth adding that this is one of  the only two pieces with
amber on permanent exhibition at the Jewellery Museum in Pforzheim
(Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim)."
