whole year planned vacation, and now you are rested, full
of new energy and forces. Summer for most of our holi-
day time, when for a short time makes you want to break

humans ... just to be alone and relax.

Also, you will learn about the most interesting and unex-
pected events of the 10th anniversary exhibition of Baltic
jewelry “Amber Trip”.
The region of Kaliningrad (Russia) remains the most scan-
dalous neighbor in the Baltic region. The radical changes
in makes to believe that the adopted programe for strate-
gic development of amber jewelry industry eventually will
give the results, and very soon we will have an international
exhibition of amber. You never know, whether Gdansk
should be worried, but they will have to share the name of
the Amber Capital...

Sad facts in the amber land:
The amount of produced amber jewelry in the
Kaliningrad region (Russia) does not exceed 10%.
The amount of excavated raw amber does not exceed
340 tons per annum.
Around 150 tons of raw material are excavated
illegally.
The main portion of raw amber is exported.
Over the last ten years, the number of amber jewelry
companies in the Kaliningrad region decreased from 359
to 50.
Paradoxical statistic about money from amber
jewellery business:
In Poland, over 4000 of jewelry companies add 500
million EUR per annum to the state budget.
In Lithuania, over 1000 of companies and 250 million
EUR per annum.
Russia – 5 million EUR. 100 times less than Poland and
50 times less than Lithuania.
Over the last 4 years, 1922 tons of raw amber were
sent abroad.
During the same taime legal export of raw amber con-
sisted 1346 tones.
NO to paradoxes, YES to renaissance
Report by Angele JUODZEVICIENE
Therefore, the paradoxes continues: Gdansk (Poland)
is considered to be the capital of amber that creates and
produces stunning jewelry and works of art from amber,
which comes from Kaliningrad. They are admired by the
whole world, and the Kaliningrad region, which is a re-
gion of amber treasures, remains in the shadows… with
its shadow economy.
Initiatives towards Renaissance:
The most important and promising novelty is that
THE AMBER COMPANIES in Kaliningrad WILL BE ABLE TO EXPORT AMBER and its jewelry products to other regions of Russia IN A SIMPLIFIED MANNER. Until now, business-
men from Kaliningrad had to provide a certificate of origin
and documentation of expertise in order to export jewelry
products to the other regions of Russia and the Custom
Union countries. Excluding the cost of precious time, tak-
ing care of the documents used to take up to 3 days, so
the businessmen had a lot of expenses. The certificate
cost around 16 EUR, and the expertise 70 EUR.
Since July of this year, it will be possible to export am-
ber and its products from Kaliningrad in a simplified man-
ner. Customs officials will require to provide only a way-
A strategy for the development of amber industry in Russia until 2012: to increase annual extraction
of amber up to 1.3 times, up to 450 tons, decrease the export of raw materials from 400 to 50 tons
per year, and expand the sales of amber jewelry 6 times – from 19 mln EUR to 114 mln EUR.
Cardinal changes also take place in the Amber Combine: The Combine transferred to the state cor-poration “Russian Technologies”, before now it belonged to the Ministry of Finance of the Russian
Federation. NEW CEO APPOINTED MICHAEL ZACEPIN, previously he worked Deputy Managing Director of “The Russian Satellite Communication Company”. PREVIOUS CEO OF
AMBER FACTORY YURI MUKHIN became an adviser to the General Director of “Russian Technologies”. IS IT A RENAISSANCE OR A PARADOX, TIME WILL SHOW.

bill, documents required for the transportation of goods,
and documents provided by the Assay Inspectorate of
Kaliningrad region.
This strategic plan adopted in the spring for develop-
ing the amber industry in the Kaliningrad region seemed
unreal. The authorities of both Moscow and especially
Kaliningrad seriously decided to balance the extraction
and production of amber, as well as eliminate all illegal
amber businesses.
Despite of this fact, the unsolved issue of simplified
customs procedure was essential in the preparation to do
great deeds and fulfill the obligations.
The plans for recovering the industry of amber are in-
deed grand, as it should be set by the most important
holders of amber.
It is exciting and optimistic that in autumn 2014,
Kaliningrad is seriously thinking about organizing an inter-
national exhibition of amber jewelry in order to attract large
and strong amber merchants. Dmitry Chemakin, minister of
industrial policy, development of business and trade of the
Government of Kaliningrad region “Its already registered 20
companies that excavate amber and would like to participate
in the exhibition. And one of the largest organizers from
St. Petersburg, who organizes jewelry exhibitions in Russia,
agreed to work with us.”
BY THE SUMMER OF 2014, it is planned to organize AN INTERNATIONAL AMBER AUCTION, where the large and medium-size pieces
will be displayed. The organizers of the auction is the
Kaliningrad Amber Factory and Regional Government.
The strategic project for developing the industry of
amber supposed to tighten the administrative responsi-
bility for those, who excavate amber illegally, by confis-
cating their technical equipment used to excavate amber.
The Kaliningrad Amber Factory is included in the list of
privatized federal enterprises of 2012–2013. According to
the data of Assay Inspectorate, in 2012, the production of
amber jewelry has increase by 35% compared with 2011.
Also it is anticipated to build an exhibition center of amber
business.
A total estimated amount for the recovery and mod-
ernization of amber cluster is more than 126 million EUR.
All what is left to say:
“лёд тронулся господа присяжные заседатели”.
In AUTUMN 2014, Kaliningrad IS SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT ORGANIZING AN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF AMBER JEWELRY
in order to attract large and strong amber merchants.

“Amber by Mazukna” is celebrating the 20th an-
niversary of its activity this year. Could you tell us,
how did it start?
The roots are even deeper. When I studied in the
Faculty of Nature in Vilnius University, my interest in am-
ber as a jewellery material with the remaining inclusions
developed naturally. I was interested in various stones
suitable for jewellery, however, only amber was easy to
find and process in Lithuania. After graduation of the
University, together with my brother Zenonas we decided
to start the entrepreneurship of amber processing and
trade, we founded “Amber by Mazukna” in 1993.
What were the most impressive developments
during this period, what are your highest achieve-
ments and most difficult challenges?
In the course of 20 years, we have developed into one
of the world leading companies manufacturing amber
jewellery. Among our clients are wholesalers, superstores,
TV, shop networks; we have been participating in many
international jewellery exhibitions.
The toughest moments were in the beginning, when
it was far from clear what to produce, where to sell. All
solutions had to be made by ourselves, nobody could give
a proper answer. Such period had lasted a few years. After
it, we encountered the dollar depreciation. Most of our
clients were from the North America. It was the period we
had worked for our survival.
After Lithuania’s accession to the European Union
many qualified specialists left for other European States in
the hunt for a better paid job. The number of employees
has reduced by 50 per cent. At present, more than 90
highly qualified workers are employed by the enterprise.
You are an international business company.
How do tastes of your clients for amber jewellery
differ in various markets, what is the most popular
decoration?
“AMBER BY MAZUKNA”already 20 years in the amber market
The company “Amber by Mazukna”, one of the largest enterprises specializing in amber jewelry in
Lithuania offering but the collections of the highest quality and unique design, is celebrating its
20th anniversary this year. On the mission of the company, successes and challenges, we talk with
Aleksas Mazukna, one of the founders of “Amber by Mazukna”.

Tastes of clients vary. Europeans prefer jewellery looking
more naturally, Chinese like larger ones of an exceptional
quality, Japanese enjoy a top quality items of a smaller size.
Classical items remain the top selling decorations. All
always buy them. The jewellery products of unique design
are always in demand. You will find the latest fashion ide-
as and reflections of your emotions, feelings and dreams
in our products.
When asked how they succeeded to keep on top dur-
ing the economic crisis, Mr Aleks replied trying not to
overestimate the fact: “The prices of the rivals’ products
went up, not just ours, the entrepreneurship provisions,
therefore, did not alter greatly. Saving money, some cli-
ents started giving preference to the items of a lower
quality or smaller. Endeavouring to keep clients, we fo-
cused our attention on the quality.”
The company remains strong and compatible.
Responsible and operational work, high quality standards,
unique and carefully designed collections keeps it in great
request in the amber jewellery market. Of course, there
have been different good or not very bright situations
over those 20 years. But business means the battle for
survival in the broadest meaning and only the strongest
endure. “Amber by Mazukna” is among them.
It’s delightful that the company contributes to the
glorification of the name of Lithuania as the state of am-
ber participating in the international jewelry exhibitions
and it is slightly vexing they do not include the exhibition
“Amber Trip” into their schedules while going through the
arrangements for the coming exhibitions. Why? “The ex-
hibition “Amber Trip” takes place at the time when other
international jewellery exhibitions are arranged in Hong
Kong and “Amberif” in Poland. It is simply impossible to
prepare and present the company as good as possible at
a time, we were short of time. Thus, we are bound to sus-
tain from the participation in the exhibition “Amber Trip,”
Mr Aleks remained very diplomatic in his reply.
It is interesting, what would be the advice of the
experienced amber entrepreneur to the rookie?
It is far from easy to give an advice. Everyone must
look for his niche in the dealership. It has a lot to do with
the strong sides of the beginner. The conditions to start
a business today are neither better nor worse than they
were 20 years ago. To keep the enterprise afloat, one
must work purposefully and coherently.

THE COLLECTION “JEWELLERY TOP 10” AT THE X ANNIVERSARY INTERNATIONAL BALTIC JEWELLERY SHOW
“AMBER TRIP” 2013
The “Amber Trip” exhibition has been held for already ten years. No doubt, the
emergence of this event was accompanied by high hopes, expectations and am-
bitions. One of the most intriguing ambitions was to exhibit an artistic program
alongside with the commercial exposure and producers’ profiles. This led to the emer-
gence of the thematic competitions for artists, where the jewellery works not only from
Lithuania but also from Estonia, the Netherlands, Greece, France, Germany and Finland
were exposed. This artistic component of the exhibition has become an important part
and an additional object of attraction for visitors, who each year were able to observe the
implementation of a variety of topics by a number of authors from different countries by
means of jewellery.
On the tenth year of existence of the exhibition, the topic certainly has had to refer
to the joyful fact that the “Amber Trip” has managed to maintain its existence. Thus, the
number ten reminded that we have something to celebrate, however, the most important
thing in the competition, namely the development of the contemporary jewellery, must
not be forgotten. “No. 10. Victoria” suggested the authors turning to the jewellery of the
Victorian period by transferring it to the modern forms; by touching the stempunk style;
by recalling every Victoria met in their lives (since it is one of the more frequent feminine
names around the world) and finally, by appealing to victory. Because after constant con-
fronting and overcoming difficulties, the ten-year anniversary is surely a victory.
The competition involved forty-nine authors from Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Germany,
Finland and other countries who provided the original interpretations of the topic.
Nevertheless, as it was expected, most of the authors associated jewellery objects with
their own personal experiences – victories or defeats. It is obvious that the historical di-
gression or the desire to follow the latest trends in the world of jewellery attracted much
less artists. Ruta Nicajiene represented the steampunk style, meanwhile Eeeva Wornell
associatively linked her work with the Victorian mourning jewellery. In some works, the
artists invoked the pop-culture imagery, which in combination with amber, considered to
be sacral in Lithuania, created irony in works; others used non-traditional materials; yet
other works focused on the technology and the combination of amber with titanium or
enamel. However, the clear leader among the authors failed to be found: the competi-
tion of the year 2013 showed that most of the first ten works, i. e. the finalists’ works
are of a similar artistic and technical level. Therefore, it was reflected in the selection of
prizemen: the first two places were shared by Rasma Puspure (Latvia) and Dite Dilginiene
(Lithuania), who managed to combine the craft mastery and non-traditional materials
in their works. The third place was occupied by Nauris Nashlenas (Lithuania) and spe-
cial diplomas were awarded to Yuriy Bilkov ir Yuriy Velikotskij (Russia), Ela Pavinskiene
(Lithuania), and Gerhard Helmer (Germany).

12–15th March, 2014
“5D”
Report by Angele JUODZEVICIENE, Curator of the Competition
In the name of the International Baltic Jewellery
show ‘Amber Trip’ we would like kindly invite
you to participate in the jewellery art contest
“5D” that will be accompanying in the “Amber Trip” tak-
ing place in Vilnius on 12–15 March, 2014.
The aim of the competition is to present and promote
the most interesting achievements of the contemporary
art of jewellery and to encourage artists to use jewellery
as a mode of expression.
Theme explanation by Maryte Gureviciene – the
chairperson of the Jury:
“Everyone is well aware of 3 dimensions. Each author
interprets the additional two dimensions in his/her own
way, which, I believe, will provide the contest work with
originality and the author – with the pleasure to puzzle
his/her brain during the creation process. Jewellery, ob-
jects, etc. can be submitted for the contest.
Description of the 5D cinema:
5D is a well known 3D (three-dimensional view) com-
plemented by the special effects, such as soap bubbles,
smoke, thunder, agility, the platform synchronically mov-
ing with the view (moving floor), imitation of wind and
rain, the rats’ effect (additional movement in the foot
area), special audio equipment, etc.
5D format is a totally different technology/tradition of
displaying/viewing the movie, therefore 5D cinema is of-
ten referred to as an amusement. 5D cinema/amusement
allows submerging into the oasis of unforgettable feelings
and sensations, to feel the flight and fall, to completely re-
alistically experience a variety of emergency situations, to
get acquainted with the population of the Earth and other
planets. Special 3D glasses highlights the reality effect of
the film, the view seems to come to life and you become
the main character of the film.
It is the 5D format of the cinema world.
And what format is used in such a field as jewellery?
Everyone understands the same phrase in different ways,
and especially artists. I hope that the perception or inter-
pretation of the 5D work presented by the authors in the
contest will be a big surprise not only for the visitors, but
also for the participants.”
Will be presented 3 winners prizes and 5 special
prizes – diploma:
I prize – free place in the international Baltic jewellery
show “Amber Trip” 2015, the article about the author and
advertising in the magazine “Baltic Jewelery News”.
II prize – free place in the international Baltic jewel-
lery show “Amber Trip” 2015, the article about the author
in the magazine “Baltic Jewelery News”.
III prize – free place in the international Baltic jewel-
lery show “Amber Trip” 2015, an interview with the au-
thor in the magazine “Baltic Jewelery News”.
The prizewinners will also receive diplomas and a year-
ly subscription of the magazine “Baltic Jewellery News”.

JEWELLERY EXHIBITION PRADAS. BALTIC JEWELLERY.
Jewellery exhibition PRADAS. Baltic jewellery in
“Stiklas” gallery Utena (Lithuania), in 2013 July and
August.
A piece of Baltic jewellery can reveal your person-
ality, attract success, give you strength or be a symbol
of belonging to an old, strong and beautiful nation.
For Lithuanians and in Baltic culture as a whole,
jewellery used to have a meaning and took an
important part in rituals. Every dash, every dot was
referred to Earth, Sun, happiness, fertility, power.
Shapes were simple but accurate. Bronze, later silver,
was recognized as a symbol of power, luxury, status.
Did you know that men wore more jewellery males
than females? Or that, bells scares away evil spirits?
PRADAS jewellery restores wisdom of thousands
of years. Every shape is meaningful and powerful.

AMBERMART
More than 150 Polish and international compa-
nies will present their products, mainly amber
and silver jewellery and valuables, at the 14th
AMBERMART International Amber Fair. The Fair is open to
the general public so that the work of Pomerania’s jewel-
lery makers can be seen not only by buyers from the world
over but also by the local community.
We look forward to having you at AMBERMART,
August 29–31, at the AMBEREXPO Exhibition & Conven-
tion Centre in Gdansk.
“We expect companies from Lithuania and Poland,
with mainly amber and silver, but also with coloured
gemstones, plus artists with original jewellery,” says Ewa
Rachon, Project Director of AMBERMART and AMBERIF.
In 2012, the Fair had a footfall of more than 3000 visitors
from 30 countries, mainly from the EU but also from China,
Russia and Arab countries. Importantly, the attendance of
US buyers was improved. We hope that this year the visitor
numbers will be even higher. AMBERMART is a meeting
opportunity for manufacturers and the international buy-
ers, who come to re-stock after the summer season with
a view to the December holiday sales peak. “The begin-
ning of autumn is trade exhibition season both in Poland

and abroad. This is when many companies travel to present
their products at jewellery trade shows in Italy, France, the
UK or Hong Kong, but some of them arrange their meet-
ings here in Gdansk, which is a source of extreme satisfac-
tion to us and it is for them that we prepare a welcoming
milieu,” comments AMBERMART’s Project Director.
Like AMBERIF, AMBERMART is included in Poland’s
Ministry of Economy programme to promote the jewel-
lery and amber industry, under the Innovative Economy
Operational Programme (IE OP): Promotion of the Polish
Economy on International Markets.
“As part of this Programme, AMBERMART 2013
will feature the public’s favourite jewellery and fashion
shows,” Ewa Rachon reveals. The public is also invited to
vote on the Best Set of Amber Jewellery – in the www.
amber.com.pl and www.ambermart.pl online contest
(voting from 3 to 25 August).
AMBERMART participants can take part in the sem-
inar on Amber, Silver and Diamonds, to open a discus-
sion on the ways to make jewellery based on appealing
designs including silver, coloured gemstones and Baltic
amber. Trade visitors who wish to expand their amber
knowledge can attend the Understanding Amber Training
Course held by the International Amber Association. It is a
fee-based course and pre-registration applies.
As in previous years, the items on display will include
the ever-popular exhibition of fossil resin samples and
their imitations from Gabriela Gierłowska’s Collection. At
the Amber Laboratory you can have your amber identi-
fied by the experts of the International Amber Association
and the researchers from the Polish Academy of Sciences’
Museum of the Earth and the Gdansk University of
Technology. The Life in the Amber Forest display will
launch the educational exhibition at the new seat of
the University of Gdansk Museum of Amber Inclusions,
Faculty of Biology (ul. Wita Stwosza 59, Gdansk). As al-
ways, AMBERMART will also feature a mini art gallery
with painting, drawing, graphics and ceramics from the
artists of Poland’s region of Pomerania.
The third edition of the Mariacka Street Festival – this
time under the banner of: Mariacka in Bloom – promises
to be truly remarkable. On Saturday, August 31, when
AMBERMART closes, its spirit of art and culture will move
to Mariacka Street, to the organic scenery of one of the
most beautiful streets of old Gdansk where many amber
studios and galleries are located. From 17:00 hrs onwards,
almost each townhouse entrance terrace (perron) will fea-
ture concerts, art previews, workshops and meetings with
artists. We invite you to this event on behalf of Mariacka
Street’s hosts and the project’s partners: the International
Amber Association and the MTG SA Gdansk International
Fair Co.
The honorary auspices over AMBERMART are held
by Poland’s Ministry of Economy, the Marshal of the
Pomorskie (Pomerania) Region and the Mayor of Gdansk.
AMBERMART’s partners are: the International Amber
Association, the Pomeranian Skilled Crafts Chamber
of SMEs and the KIGB Polish Chamber of Amber
Commerce.

May in Legnica (Poland) every year is the time
for artistic jewellery. On 17th and 18th of May
there was celebrated the finale of the Legnica
SILVER Festival, the most important weekend of the
one of the largest contemporary art jewellery overviews
in Europe. Seventeen exhibitions were inaugurated on
those two days, as well as the film screenings, happen-
ings, a seminar, a concert and the meetings with artists
in an intimate atmosphere of the recurring Silver party.
The Contestation – Revolt – Change conference benefited
from a full audience, with a number of lectures by the
academics and artists and the screenings of the films on
the subject of revolt as a part of the Silver screen cycle.
Over 200 jewellery design devotees from the coun-
tries of Europe and three other continents (i. a. USA,
Venezuela, Australia, Lebanon) came to Legnica to take
part in the festival's finale, as did the representatives of
the most prominents Polish goldsmithing centers – Tricity,
Warsaw, Lodz and Cracow.
Walking through the “Legnica silverland”, or in other
words, the official 2013 Legnica Silver Festival's finale, be-
gan on Friday afternoon (May 17th) with the private view of
Holownia – showcasing the entries received but not quali-
fied for the main exhibition. In the Silver Gallery “Under
the Quail’s Basket” Dorota Gulbierz presented herself as
a “retromaniac” by nature, fashion choice and her body
of works, confirming the true unity of the creator and the
creation. At the next stop, in the Satyrykon Gallery, Tabea
Reulecke and Maarija Niinemägi, co-authors (together
with the Australian Teresa Lane) of the “Prince Charming
& Palace of Happiness” exhibition, were
greeted by a living and breathing “prince
charming”, to their great surprise. His
presence was yet another proof that
in Legnica all the artist's dreams come
true, which can be also witnessed by the
young goldsmiths of AU+ group (Marcin
Bogusław, Bartosz Chmielewski,
Filip Jackowski, Michał Wysocki),
who exhibited their joint project in
Niello Gallery, for the third time at the
SILVER Festival.
The festival's stars, Philip Sajet and Ulrich
Reithofer, presented impressing artistic
output and universal creativity in Copper
Museum.

Joanna has just launched her new collection “Ajouré”,
which is inspired by the organic structure of the Chinese
lantern plant. The fascinating patterns and shapes Joanna
observes in flowing water also inspire these elegant and
sophisticated creations.
The main focus of the collection is an interchange-
able pendant. This 2 in 1 piece can be worn together or
separately. The character of the pieces best describes the
designer herself: “Since jewellery is more than just deco-
ration, the interactive elements create a link between the
piece and the wearer, who has opportunity to recreate
them as desired.”
One of her price winning piece called “The Weather
Brooch” gives possibility to the wearer to change the
weather on the brooch according to their desire. Available
weather: sunny, cloudy, lightings and rainbow. To get so
intense colours Joanna created this brooch using anodis-
ing aluminium method. Beside decorative features this
piece is engaging the wearer and is fun to wear.
Joanna is passionate jewellery designer, which likes
creating innovative pieces. She appreciates evolving herself
with new challenges, technologies and methods which al-
lows her to improve her skills further. She loves colours
and that is why she is trying to incorporate them in dif-
ferent forms in her pieces. Her pieces contain silver, gold,
anodised aluminium, enamel, precious and semi-precious
stones. All pieces are designed and hand finished by her.
She adores pieces which beside its decorative fea-
tures are engaging the wearer with a piece and are fun to
wear.

exhibitors and buyers from Poland and abroad.
During these three days, 2156 visitors arrived to
visit the show, including 1895 Buyers strictly related to the

included almost all segments of the industry: gold and
silver jewellery, watches, precious stones, designers' jew-
ellery, lifestyle jewellery, fashion jewellery, as well as gifts,
packaging, tools and marketing solutions.
The first two days of the exhibition were intended for
jewellery and watch industry members only. These days

change of experiences. The third day of the event was
open also to general public. Tourists and residents of
Cracow had a unique opportunity to see and buy jewel-
lery and gifts. They could also take an advantage of free
experts' advice about the repair, maintenance and pricing

Last edition of JUBINALE brought a sigh of optimism
among jewellery companies. Even though statistically this
year there were 5% less exhibitors – we all know that
many companies are still facing difficulties related to cur-
rent economic situation – the attendance of buyers in-
creased by 30% compared to last year. To the delight of
all involved, the increase in the number of guests also re-
sulted in the amount of the purchases. This fact can be
clearly accepted as a success of the fair!
The next edition of JUBINALE Trade Fair will take place
from 5th to 7th of June 2014 at the brand new exhibition

MANUFACTURE OF JEWELLERY AND RELATED PRODUCTSIn the end of 2012, as many as 4010 enterprises were
involved in manufacture of jewellery and related products –
thus pearl treatment, stone polish as well as jewellery man-
ufacture from precious and non-precious metals, except
artificial jewellery – as the data of Central Statistical Office
shows. Most companies (over 900) had their business in
Pomerania, which is not surprising taking into account ac-
cess to the natural jewellery material being there, i.e. am-
ber. 869 of the companies ran small and family businesses,
and 32 entrepreneurs employed from 10 to 49 employees.
WATCH, CLOCK AND JEWELLERY RETAIL SALE IN SPECIALISED STORES
The number of companies selling
watches and jewellery in 2012 was
about one-fourth less than the num-
ber of manufacturers of those prod-
ucts. For comparison: last year 4010
entities engaged in manufacture
of jewellery products in the whole
Poland, while only 3158 entities en-
gaged in retail sale.
FOREIGN TRADECurrently available data on foreign trade covers the
whole year 2012.
In the period from January to December 2012, export
of Polish watches closed with a total of 24 338 774 EUR.
Three-fourth of Polish watches reached consumers in the
European Union. Among the countries of Central and
Eastern Europe, the largest number of watches manufac-
tured in Poland was purchased by Russians and Ukrainians,
while Germany, France and Italy dominated in the group
of EU countries.
The value of import of watches during the three quar-
ters of the previous year amounted to 89 611 576 EUR.
WATCHES and jewellery in the Polish market – Summary
of the year 2012
Nearly half of the products originated from developing
countries – we purchased there watches and clocks valued
to 34 548 538 EUR.
The largest customers of pearls and stones, as in the
case of watches, proved to be the EU countries, which pur-
chased from Poland the articles valued to 1 555 060 416 EUR all in all. Export to Germany, Great Britain, Belgium,
Czech Republic and Italy dominated. For pearls imported
within 12 months of the previous year, Polish entrepreneurs
paid 334 777 147 EUR. From developing countries natu-
ral and cultured pearls were brought for 92 838 731 EUR.
The value of imports of gold in the solid, semi-manu-
factured form or powder came to 76 768 518 EUR in the
three quarters of the previous year. The export value of gold
in the three quarters of 2012 amounted to 505 914 933 EUR.

In July 2013, four 30-ton trawls, accompanied
by traffic police cars, travelled down narrow
roads of the Kaliningrad region to deliver a
huge component for completing a modernization of the
Amber Combine. The plant has not received such a mas-
sive cargo for more than 20 years. Four huge parts with
dimensions of 4x8 meters and weighing 16 tons each. The
delivery required two special railway platforms; the ex-
traordinary load surprised even experts-transporters.
A new base for a walking excavator has arrived to the
Amber Combine from the factory. The production engi-

the Amber Combine; a volume of stripping operations and
productivity will increase.”
In the future, the plant is planning a scheduled re-
placement of stripping and mining equipment, replace-
ment of pipes, and acquisition of new dredging pumps.
SUE “Kaliningrad Amber Combine” regularly runs a
scheduled maintenance and purchases new mining equip-
ment. In 2012, the plant almost completely refreshed
primary equipment of the mining complex and resolved
technical gaps accumulated over the past decades.
Purchase and delivery of THE NEW BASE FOR ESHE 10/70 ALLOWS DISCUSSING THE FINAL STEP IN THE PROCESS OF MODERNIZATION. This means that the mining

This year, the international biennale of author
works from amber “Alatyr” celebrates a double
anniversary – the 5th event in 10 years. The theme
this year jewellery competition is “Aqua Terra”. 105 artists
from the Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, France have sended
241 works.
Comparing previous exhibitions, Juris Gagainis,
jury member, professor, head of the Metal and Design
Department in the Latvian Academy of Arts, said: “in
2011, in the fourth biennale, there were much more of
kitsch and “heavy” works overloaded with details; this
year, works are “lighter”, but not all the authors succeed-
ed to avoid overloading their articles. It is necessary to
work more carefully with amber, as the stone is very active
itself and it will always be “contending” with everything
that is close to it. In general, the exhibition has made me a
good impression. Not only objects, but also jewellery and
conceptual works were presented.”
High quality organization of the exhibition, direct com-
munication, cosy atmosphere, professionally coordinated
actions of the whole team of the amber museum, and,
of course, artistic reflections of “Aqua Terra” in various
forms of amber have really left the warmest impressions.
Irina Toropova – President of the Jury, Deputy director
for research of Kaliningrad Amber Museum, art expert,
Candidate of pedagogic sciences, Kaliningrad, Russia said:
“Amber more and more often becomes a material for the
high art, excellent means of realization of artistic images.
The theme of the exhibition – competition – “Aqua Terra”
is related with the fact that UNESCO announced the year
2013 an International Year of Water Cooperation which
is highly important for the Baltic Sea accessed by many
countries. The artists faced a task to convey the essence
of these elements – the Earth and the Water – by symbolic
images.

The graduated experts were immediately “grabbed
up” by employers. This year, for the first time in the re-
gion, the College issued diplomas to 25 amber jewellers.
“Last year, we managed to re-equip the College, so,
today, the school is well placed to support the academic
activity,” says Dmitry Chemakin, minister of indus-
trial policy, development of business and trade of the
Government of Kaliningrad region.
The next step, according to the Minister, is expansion
of the College. “As part of both the state programme and
the Federal special purpose programme, design of the ad-
ditional floor is completed,” has clarified Chemakin.
The need for additional floor was proved by Director
of College, Svetlana Petropavlovskaya. As she states,
the school might supply the entire region with staff,
however, the current tight spaces make it impossible.
She has noted that the studies in Kaliningrad attract
applicants from all over Russia. “Having a third floor – is
our dream; then everything ours is completely different,”
hopefully emphasises Petropavlovskaya.

Thus, at the online conference on BELTA website,
activities of a unified retail chain of the jewel-
lery holding company have been evaluated by
Aleksandr Rimarovich, Head of the Regulatory Control
Department of the General Directorate for Precious
Metals and Precious Stones under the Ministry of Finance
of the Republic of Belarus.
The jewellery holding company “Crystal Holding” was
established on the basis of three public organizations in
jewellery industry: JSC “Gomel PO “Crystal” (managing
company), JSC “Belyuvelirtorg,” and
CJSC “Belgran.” It was incorporated
in September 2012. Currently, the
holding company is dynamically de-
veloping and, despite the relatively
short period of operation, demon-
strating an impressive economic
performance.
For example, in 2012, the volume
of industrial production at Gomel
PO “Crystal” was 40,625,299 EUR
(growth rate at comparable prices
by 2011 – 123.4%); revenues from
product sales – 56,176,099 EUR
(168%); profit from product sales
– 11,475,861 EUR (636,7%); net
profit – 9,761,860 EUR (606,6%).
In JSC “Belyuvelirtorg”, sales vol-
ume at current prices for the year
of 2012 amounted to 22,690,649
EUR, or 170.7% by 2011, net profit
– 1,782,107 EUR (705.7%).
In the first quarter of 2013, or-
ganizations of the jewellery holding
company continued to increase the
volume of production and sales,
Jewellery holding company“CRYSTAL HOLDING” is demonstrating impressive economic performance
were running a profitable operation and unconditionally
fulfilled their settlement obligations with regard to budg-
et, contractors, and payment of wages. For instance, in
January-March of this year, the growth rate of production
at Gomel PO “Crystal”, compared to the same period of
last year, was 103.5% in comparable prices, and the turn-
over of “Belyuvelirtorg” increased by 58.7% (including 14
stores transferred to it by JSC “Gomel PO “Crystal”).
A unified retail chain of the jewellery holding was
found. A combined share of holding participants in the
total jewellery sales was 33%in the
domestic market in 2012 (in 2011
– 28%). The share of holding par-
ticipants’ products in the turnover
of the unified retail chain increased
from 49.3% in 2012 to 52.1% in the
first quarter of 2013.
Products of “Crystal Holding”
are in demand not only domesti-
cally but also for export. Jewellery of
Gomel PO “Crystal” is sold in Russia,
Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Ukraine; dia-
mond products – in Belgium, Israel,
Russia, Armenia, and the United
States.
In 2012, Gomel PO “Crystal”
manufactured 234,558 pieces of di-
amonds weighing 18,818.24 carats
worth 11,044,523 EUR.

“3 knots wind's” jewelry is special. I was im-
pressed by their bright, relaxing point of
view with a bit of mysticism. The company's
main markets are in Latvia, France and UK. Many pieces
have travelled to Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Norway,
Russia, Hong Kong, Canada, USA, Singapore, Japan and
Australia.
Motto:”Wear the jewellery and on each engraved
wind knot think of a wish, and soon this wish will become
true. Or, you can write this wish on a piece of paper for
future generations, put it into the bottle and let it float
into the sea.”
We are talking with Sigita Truksane, the creator and
designer of “3 wind knot” jewellery
Is it really a successful business can be affected
by the legend? I've read about it on your website
The inspiration to create jewellery, we have from all of
the positive things around us. The origins of our jewellery
we are founding in the legend “Three knots of Wind".
After finishing his seamanship training, the apprentice
was gifted from his master, a magical rope of three knots
and its instructions for use. With this gift, you will be able
to be the ruler of the seas and the winds. When you need
wind, untie the first knot and a fair wind will blow. If the
second knot is untied, a storm will blow, and will only stop
by untieing the third knot. Wherever the captain went on
the high seas, he was blessed with good weather, thanks
to his rope of three knots. With the help of his magic
rope, the captain conquered evil and married a princess.
I believe, that often we can reach our dreams and
goals easier and faster if we have a specific item or talis-
man that has meaning for us which we value. This item
reminds us about our dreams, inspires and motivates us
to move forward and achieve them. Jewels and gifts that
inspires us to reach our dreams and brings love, joy and
many miracles in our life.
This year “3 wind knots” together with Latvian interi-
or and design companies with Latvian Investment Agency
support visited potential collaboration partners in Kaunas
and Vilnius, Lithuania as well as in Japan. “We had great
opportunity to see local fashion and jewellery tendencies
visiting partners and retail stores where we had meeting
with their representatives. The meetings where success-
ful and now we are collaborating with 2 companies in
Lithuania. We participated at Latvian design item pro-
Report by Angele JUODZEVICIENE
ducers’ trade mission to Japan with support of Latvian
Investment and Development Agency from May 30 till
June 6. We had great opportunity to present our jewels
during Latvian Design days event. All days were very busy
we had meetings with buyers from large department
stores and retail store chains in Nagoya, Tokyo, Kioto and
Osaka. The mission was successful after trade mission we
have representative in Japan with 20 jewelries stores in
largest cities.“, – Sigita Truskane said.
You’ll present new collection in this September,
what is it?
It's jewellery collection “Walk”
Indian summer. Calm and sunny afternoon. Walk. The
Riga Quite Centre saturated with Art Nouveau architec-
ture pearls. Cup of aromatic drink in a lovely cafe. Besides
good friend, loved ones and talks. Or just book. Deep
peace and relaxation. Also this is Riga.
MOTTO:”Wear the jewellery and on each engraved wind knot THINK OF A WISH, AND
SOON THIS WISH WILL BECOME TRUE. OR, you can write this wish on a piece of paper
for future generations, PUT IT INTO THE BOTTLE AND LET IT FLOAT INTO
THE SEA.”

What is guaranteed by the company's success
and prosperity in General? Not everyone, after all,
finds inspiration in legends.
Innovation, thinking out of box, internal motivation,
new export markets and hard work.
We are rapidly expanding our activities worldwide
and we are looking for “3 wind knots” jewellery agents,
distributors or collaboration partners.
Every jewel is different, where no two are alike and
each has its own soul. Think of your wish and wear your
jewel. Soon, very soon, your wishes will become true.
Your words really sound like a legend, which I
want to believe.
But I have to give you one more pragmatic ques-
tion: What's your opinion about Latvia jewellery
market?
It is my opinion that we do not have strong jewelry
brands. Market is saturated with things that are imported
from Poland, China also exclusive brands from different
European countries. Jewelry shops are not opened for
local artist works, because of it we are working with local
fashion and design stores. Different story is with export
markets, they like things that we are making because jew-
els are different.
We have several artists in Latvia who are developing
own jewelry collections. But the number is very small.I can
say that there are many jewelers who are working on pri-
vate orders for specific jewels. Also we have many com-
panies which niche is making of ancient jewelry replica.
One niche is putting together jewelry supplies form
China or other markets making different kind of acces-
sories, the boom was 2 years ago, currently there are
also 1–3 brands. And different h-made accessories form
wood, leather, plastics ets. We do not concentrate on
Latvia market.

Against the mass production, we always have things to do. PEOPLE LOOK FOR INDIVIDUALITY. They begin understanding that just a piece of gold on them is not enough.
IT MUST ALSO BE UNIQUE.
Once I asked the head of the
Assay Office of Estonia, Yelena
Muhomedova, any interesting and
promising jewellery companies,
she would recommend for an in-
terview – she called the name of
Your company. So, what is inter-
esting and unique about You?
We constantly produce something
new. We have a small team, yet, a
plenty of ideas. Each new theme can
be used to the best effect in main
types of articles and to compose a
collection. But we are short of hands.
Custom orders dislocate us constantly
in terms of ideas. Therefore, we are always in search of
new solutions. Catching a cool design, in our opinion,
might result in manufacture of a bucket of identical ar-
ticles, losing ourselves in mass production what is easier,
nevertheless, every day, our small team meets new chal-
lenges. We don’t have time to be bored. People visit our
workshop like a tailor for trying-on, several times. This is
the way we achieve customised solutions. We take into
account everything: height, weight, eye colour, and, of
course, the purpose for which the article is manufactured.
Together with clients, we find the best solution for them,
thus, they may count upon exclusive products.
Tell us what you are doing, what are You
products?
The Company “T&G ANTON” was found as the family
one, and, for the past 12 years, we offer our services for
the made-to-order jewellery.
We feel COMFORTABLEInterview of Angele JUODZEVICIENE with Vadim ANTONOV, Manger of Company “V&G Anton”
We believe that jewellery influ-
ences emotional and physical well-
being. A customised ornament,
made for a particular client and
being close to his heart, has much
higher value than a mass produc-
tion. Who of us wouldn’t like to feel
special!
Collection of our products is rep-
resented in a wide range of styles
– from classical to contemporary
shapes. Perfect quality of manufac-
ture, best gem inserts, and unique
design make our jewellery a good
buy.
You can materialise your fantasies in various ways,
for example, from an image, picture that affected you in
some publication, or from a sketch made by an artist. We
embody your idea in the metal and decorate with precious
stones.

Such offers make you think
about technical feasibilities,
what are they like?
We are constantly upgrading
technically. We apply both a classi-
cal method of production and new
technologies that support 3D. We
have suitable equipment.
We’ll tell you a little bit about
the manufacturing process which
consists of several stages. First, we
take a drawing or any other image;
we get started and make a model of
special non-metallic materials. We can insert stones into
it, try it on, feel, and see how the article fits you.
While styling and trying the article on, we can make
changes to the design. In fact, you create your dream by
yourself – we just help to make it come true.
We finish styling only after you make sure that this is
exactly what you want to see on yourself
The next step is insertion of jew-
ellery in the metal and, finally, before
properly inserting and fixing gems,
you will need a final trying-on that
allows us to accurately complete the
work on your product.
How much successful are
you in the Estonian jewellery
industry?
We feel quite comfortable in our
market. Most our products crush the
idea of jewellery, as we apply non-
standard solutions in technology, materials, shapes, and
colours. Our customers often show delight and surprise.
As they say, “that couldn’t be true,” “it is difficult to
imagine,” or, “we never saw the beat of it” ... “Never
thought this could be true,” and so on. The market in
Estonia is the same as anywhere else. All counters are
similar to each other. The competition is high. Products
from major manufacturers worldwide. Very little of a real
artistic design.
Your plans for the future – do you see any mar-
ket growth prospects?
Of course, we can see the prospects, we have a lot
of ideas... We have a lack of professionals. We train our-
selves. We observe the technological progress and apply
new things. Against the mass production, we always have
things to do. People look for individuality. They begin
understanding that just a piece of gold on them is not
enough. It must also be unique. This is a luxury and there
is no need for walking around with the same rings.

lers”, says INTERGEM'S managing director

INTERGEM 2013– The home of gemstones

Idar-Oberstein is the world's gemstone capital.
Gemstone expertise has been handed down from genera-
tion to generation and now worldwide leading companies
are calling the region their home. This expertise is concen-
trated at the INTERGEM. Diamond cutting legend Sir Gaby
Tolkowsky states: “This romantic place, right in the middle
of Europe, where they have been cutting gemstones for
over 500 years, is Europe's centre for gemstones and jew-
ellery. Here you can find what I call “The key to Ali Baba's
treasure chamber.“

The Munich Show is Europe's leading trade
fair for minerals, fossils, gems and jewellery.
Last year 1270 exhibitors from 64 nations took
part in this business and networking event
for beautiful stones. In 2013 Munich Show –
Mineralientage Munchen are celebrating 50
years anniversary.
About the jewelry market in Germany and China,
we are talking with Mr. Jens Rodel – marketing
manager of the Munich Show – Mineralientage
Munchen.
In May you were visited First China (Changsha)
Mineral & Gem Show, how do you evaluate this start?
As for many other industries, China will also be a huge
market for minerals, gems and jewellery in the future.
The organizers of CMGS therefore plan to early build up
a relevant platform situated in Changsha, the capital of
Hunan province which is a mineralogically important area
Germany is a well-established market for gems and jewellery
in China. In our talks to international gemstone exhibitors,
many spoke of quite interesting contacts but recognized
that it will take some more time in order to develop a
powerful market in central China. For the mineral sector it
is a question of taste because Chinese collectors tend to
search for huge and optically interesting objects which is
totally different from what western collectors are looking
for. All in all it was impressive to see what the organizers
built up from nothing and we are looking forward to see
CMGS developing in the next years.
How do you assess the general situation in the
gemstone market in Germany and worldwide?
Worldwide market is influenced by three key factors:
Economic situation after the financial crisis, a general focus
on Asia and a short supply of raw material. The way to
do business for many suppliers was much easier in grow-
ing countries like China than in Europe in the last years.
Meanwhile the economic situation in western countries
in getting better and many emerging markets show signs of
economic weakness together with a growing competition.

The development of prices which we saw in the last
years was possible because of the high demand from Asia
where market players were willing to pay any price. It will
be interesting to see, how this continues when people are
getting more sensitive. Nevertheless, as long as the politi-
cal situation remains stable in China, Asia will be the lead-
ing region in terms of growth and taste.
Compare, please, today’s gemstone market in
Germany and China.
Like in many other industries, gem and jewellery busi-
ness is laying its focus on Asian countries, especially china.
Consumers there don’t know a lot about gemstones and
therefore demand is still slow. But associations, media and
industry started campaigns to educate them and so we ex-
pect a strong growing gemstone market in coming years.
Germany is a well-established market for gems and
jewellery. Market growth is not comparable to emerging
markets but market size is still big enough to make it a
very interesting market for international suppliers.
What are the main problems faced by foreign
suppliers of gemstones to the Germany market?
Germany is an attractive market for international sup-
pliers but they have to be aware of the market situation
and an established system of custom and taxes. The com-
petition is very high, but companies who offer a signifi-
cant advantage in terms of purchase prices or services will
be successful in finding new clients. For those who don’t
know the German market yet, it will be helpful to visit a
trade fair in order to get in contact with clients, media and
associations.
In order to simplify import/export of products to a
trade show we have establishes a partnership with an in-
ternationally leading logistics company for example. So,
exhibitors can send their merchandise directly to their
booth at Gemworld Munich and the same way back.
Which stones are most popular in Germany?
In Germany as well, diamonds are far ahead in terms
of sales numbers. But also colored gemstones are becom-
ing more and more popular here. Tanzanite for example
is popular for its great color even though it’s no option
for most consumers because of the high price. Germans
also like amber which very often seen, as well as opal or
amethyst.
How seriously the recession and finance crisis of
2008–2011 do influence the Germany jewellery and
gemstone trade in general?
Despite the economic crisis, German market is still
strong and demand especially for luxury items is growing.
Last year the jewellery market grew at around 4% and
also for 2013 people are optimistic. Gold, gems and jewel-
lery is seen as a good investment as many Germans expect
a growing inflation in the next years due to high public
depth and guarantees for other European countries.
As far as it concerns our exhibitors, they are mostly
optimistic about the current situation as well as the future
outlook.

2013 represents a milestone in “House
of Amber's” history as the com-
pany this year celebrates its 80
years anniversary.
“House of Amber” was founded in 1933 by Einar
Fehrn. With his son, Soren, he designed the most beauti-
ful amber jewellery; Danish design of the highest quality.
In 2007, Dansk Generationsskifte A/S was given the op-
portunity to continue the family's lifelong work. “House
of Amber” has continued in the same spirit of dedication
to quality and of love to the amazing amber stone. Today
the company is one of the oldest and largest producers of
exclusive amber jewellery in the world. With more than
40 shops in Denmark and China, “House of Amber” has
established itself as a strong luxury jewellery brand.
Pia Fons , Managing Direktor of “House of Amber”
“House of Amber” is proud of celebrating 80 years
of dedication to the Danish design tradition and mark the
anniversary with the launch of a limited edition collection
only available in stores in 2013. The anniversary collec-
tion is inspired by “House of Amber's” long design tradi-
tion combined with a modern twist. Managing Director
Pia Fons is very excited about the launch of the collection
and says: “It highlights 80 years of exclusive design and
represents the core of the brand: quality, exclusivity, and
Danish design".
We asked Pia Fons, the Managing Director of
“House of Amber”: tell us about most proud mo-
ments and most difficult moments for “House of
Amber” during these years?
Concerning the most difficult moments in the history
of “House of Amber” then I would describe the years
where the company went from being owned by Mr. Soren
Fehrn to being owned by an investment company.

This was a transition from a family owned business to
a more developing oriented investment company.
The transition went smooth but in order to make sure
the spirit of the company, the expertise of many valued
“customers” and employees and the passion for the am-
ber stayed the same as always we of course had to focus
very hard on the internal values and procedures.
We all know that Mr. Soren Fehrn is an enigma in his
field and the inheritance is of course heavy from so many
years of experience in the amber business.
I am glad to say 6 years after our goodbye to the son
of the company that we have succeeded.
“House of Amber” is today a success in many
ways with 35 shops in China and 3 signature shops in
Copenhagen, a new and inspiring brand universe and a
lot of beautiful new amber designs coming all year round.

Report by Cemal BULUNMAZ, Diamond Tool Professional
With the instantaneous fall of the gold price
in last months, all the goldsmiths around the
world from one-man workshop to the plants
with thousands of people, came back to life after their
long sleep in the last years.
Nobody can give an exact and unique answer about
the behavior of the gold, this is for sure. But fortunate-
ly, we are very well experienced on deciding what to do
when it goes too high or too low. With the last instant fall
of the price, leaders of the gold manufacture were ready
to go back to their glowing days of tons of manufacture.
As the marketing and export doyens were thirsty to sell.
Between the USA, as the biggest consumer of the
world, and Far East region including gigantic gold manu-
facturers as China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia
and others, we are in the middle of everything as Europe,
particularly as the east part of the continent including
both Turkey and the Baltic area.
As far as concerns the relation between Turkish jewel-
lery market and the Baltic region, the strong relation of
two players of the industry has effected from the fall of
the gold prices.
Not as much as before, but plenty of Turkish man-
ufacturers are still considering the Baltic area as one of
their main markets. The major gold manufacturer of
Turkey, “Arpas” is keeping attending in the main jewel-
lery exhibition of the area, “Amber Trip” for long years.
Companies that concentrated on Eastern Europe area
such as “Italgold”, “Istor”, “Midas”, “Kocak” and several
others are thinking and investing a lot on the region.
Coming to the sustainability of the uptrend, again I
have to say that nobody can tell a certain word on this. As
all the members of the gold industry, all I can do is to hope
that the gold prices will keep low, at least keep stable, as
this is the most important fact that brings the production.
As we are pondering about the gold prices, an over-
looked fact comes into the frame. After the irresistible
rise of silver jewellery, it seems that we are witnessing the
birth of a new star; the imitation jewellery industry.
Time will show us the way and fortunately each player
of the industry from smallest to the biggest will have time
and opportunity to choose their lines for their bests.
All we have to do is to watch, listen, understand and
react the market very carefully...

The period from April to June of 2013 was the worst time in the history of gold market over
the recent period. During this period, prices dropped by 23% because investors got rid
of gold, preferring other assets. By comparison, in 2012 the gold price increased by 7%.
The demand of investment in gold as safe assets is stimulated by three basic principles: protection
against inflation, protection against geopolitical shocks and protection against the financial tur-
moil. However, it happened so that none of these risks brought painful consequences.
In addition, since a lot of paper gold was emitted, people felt the anxiety and began to de-
mand the actual gold for the paper gold – but there is none. Here’s another reason: to reduce the
price in the Gold Exchange, to buy the required amount, to return to those who currently want it.
The gold prices are not affected by a single factor. Namely, the resultant of a number of vec-
tors. There is nothing permanent. The Japanese proverb says that the one that fell must rise, and
the one that rises will probably fall.

INTRODUCTION
The influence of modern technology on the gem
diamond world is becoming more and more important.
Treated and synthetic diamonds are appearing on the
market in increasing numbers, and their identification
generally requires sophisticated technology and highly
specialized knowledge.
Yet, in some cases an experienced professional can
still identify treated, synthetic or at least “suspect” stones,
without the use of extremely expensive or complicated in-
struments. In a series of short contributions we illustrate
some cases in which this is possible.
Recently, several hundreds of undisclosed, near colour-
less, CVD synthetic diamonds of good clarity have been
discovered on the Antwerp diamond market. Therefore
the present contribution will concentrate on the identifi-
cation of stones of this type.
CVD SYNTHETIC DIAMOND
Synthetic (i.e. man made) diamonds are entering
the market in larger numbers today. Two technologies
exist to produce gem quality synthetics: HPHT (High
Pressure – High Temperature) and CVD (Chemical Vapour
Deposition). The HPHT method imitates the conditions

of high temperature and high pressure under which dia-
monds are formed inside the earth. CVD synthetics are
made using a totally different technology: stones are
grown from a plasma, a gas heated to extremely high
temperatures (Fig. 1). Whereas HPHT synthetics available
today are usually fancy colours (yellow), the CVD method
is producing mainly near colourless stones.

When rough, synthetic diamonds can easily be distin-
guished from their natural counterparts because of their
very different external shape. However, after polishing the
difference between natural and synthetic diamond can
only be made using high-tech laboratory equipment.
Screening instruments are available on the market to
help diamond professionals to make the difference be-
tween stones that are certainly natural, and stones that
might be synthetic, and that need more sophisticated
tests in a high-tech laboratory. Typical screening instru-
ments of this type are DiamondSureTM (DTC) and D-Screen
(HRD Antwerp).
D-Screen is shown in Fig. 2. This pocket-size, afford-
able instrument will give you (literally) a green light for
the large majority of near-colourless polished diamonds,
proving that they are not synthetic.
For a small percentage of stones this instrument will
refer to a sophisticated laboratory, where additional high
tech measurements can be made. Note that this instru-
ment also refers near colourless HPHT colour enhanced
diamonds for further tests.

Designing in 3D permits countless opportunities
to non-destructively explore variations or make
changes according to each client’s individual
needs. Among 3D printers, the EnvisionTEC Perfactory®
produces models with outstanding surface on top of as-
tonishing detail that can then be direct cast or molded.
One company who has discovered the benefits of the
EnvisionTEC Perfactory® 3D printing system is Smolensk
Diamonds Jewellery Group. Smolensk Diamond Group
is part of the Kristall Production Corporation, the larg-
est manufacturer of cut and polished diamonds in Russia
and Europe with over 600,000 carats polished each
year. Smolensk Diamond Group was formed to produce
high end specialist jewellery and one off custom pieces
using the famous Kristall diamonds. They have used 3D
CAD and CAM for some years but decided to purchase
a Perfactory® Mini from EnvisionTEC in 2010. The success
of the printer prompted another install during 2011. Mr.
Kunzev from the company stated, “Thanks to the imple-
mentation of the 3D Printers from EnvisionTEC we are able
to produce unique custom designs of the highest quality
very quickly for our clients”.
Smolensk Diamond Group is often asked to manu-
facture unique pieces and one such project was for the
Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
“Without the Perfactory® 3D Printers, such a task
would have taken more than one year to produce the
replica crown and a lot more staff. The accuracy we can
achieve on an object this size is incredible and beyond
skilled craftsmen using traditional methods”, Mr. Kunzev
remarked.

YOU GET AS MUCH as you give

www.balticjewellerynews.com
Virginija Mizgiriene’s answer to the question
“How do you value “Amber Business Partner
2012” award?” was very simple: “You get as
much as you give”. Kazimieras gave a little bit wider an-
swer: “It is evaluation of your honest work, reasonable
selection of collections, timely settlement, … and many
different nuances.”
In 1991 the first Amber Gallery of Mizgiris was opened
in Nida, after two years, fostering the cultural heritage
"The Mizgiris’ Amber Museum" was opened in an old fish-
erman’s house. Soon, keeping the tradition of Hermann
Blode, 1996, Artists' House was established. Here artists,
who are coming for summer, have the only obligation - to
communicate with visitors and let them observe amber
processing, and birth of unique pieces of art.
The visitors of "The Mizgiris’ Amber Museum" are in-
vited to participate in individual and group lessons and
learn about amber processing. This year 130 groups from
the USA reserved the cycles of lessons (lessons are con-
ducted in Lithuanian, English, German and Russian).
Virginija and Kazimieras Mizgiriai did not confine am-
ber promotion only in Nida, in 1998 they opened the "The
Mizgiris’ Amber Museum" in the 17th century Baroque-
style building in Vilnius Old Town. The artistic presenta-
tion of amber stone gained even greater extent. Here you
can see the amber stone weighing 3 kg, a unique col-
lection of inclusions, reconstructed amulets of Juodkrante
treasure – the largest archaeological collection of amber
in the world, ancient amber jewellery and works made by
the most famous present-day artists.
We are creating our life by our ideas and feelings,
love and faith spread by us comes back with double force.
Therefore, they have chosen the activity of amber ambas-
sadors to promote Lithuania as the region of amber, every
time presenting new colours of the sun stone and even
more.
Even in 1998 I was particularly impressed by the fact
that they have assumed great responsibility, when buying
premises of huge historical heritage for their amber gal-
This year the International Amber Association
Award “Amber Business Partner 2012” was
given to Virginija and Kazimieras Mizgiriai, the
owners of "The Mizgiris’ Amber Museum" in
Nida and Vilnius (Lithuania).
Report by Angele JUODZEVICIENE
When you listen to their sincere and warm story about
the emergence of friendship with amber, you understand
that they have given a lot: faith, love and ambitious wish
to tell the world about the amazing beauty of amber, and
to show that this impressive piece of nature is not only a
product of amber jewellery, but also an inspiration for the
world of arts.
The first teachers of Virginija and Kazimieras were
foreign tourists, who were visiting Nida. Their interest in
amber initiated their choice to become the promoters of
amber beauty in the world. There was a wish to make
foreign guests, visiting our seaside, have warm, amber
energy imbued memories, that they would like to come
back and spread the love for the beauty of natural amber
far beyond the boarders of Lithuania.

lery. When restructuring the premises, during archaeolog-
ical investigations authentic 15th century ceramic furnaces
and about 30000 archaeological findings, dating back to
the 14–19th century, were found. Now everyone is able to
see amber treasures and architectural relics.
In 2004 the Baltic Amber Art Centre was opened next
to "The Mizgiris’ Amber Museum” in Vilnius. The litera-
ture about amber and its history is being collected and
stored here. The centre organizes lectures, provides spe-
cial space for young artists and presents an inspiring pre-
history of amber formation under the glass floor.
Much interesting and valuable information has been
collected when developing amber galleries and museums,
communicating with different people of science and arts.
In 2005 Mizgiriai published their first book “Mysterious
amber world. Geheimnisvolle Bernsteinwelt”. It attrac-
tively presents information about amber and photos
made by Kazimieras. Kazimieras Mizgiris is a member of
International Federation of Photographic Art.
On the 12th of March, 2008 K. Mizgiris became a
member of the World Amber Council.
This year Mizgiriai presented their new project “AMBER OTHERWISE” to the World Amber Council. “WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW,
INEXPERIENCED, UNCONVENTIONAL. We want to present amber in sensorial and visual way. We try to show the physical and
sensorial features of amber.
We have assigned the artistic expression of the project
to Nerijus Erminas, design – to Ieva Kristapaviciute”, - said
Virginija. “Idea was born to create an opportunity for visi-
tor to find out the main physical and healing qualities of
amber through artistic expression means.”
“The Mizgiris’ Amber Museum" often represents
Lithuania as Amber country in the world. Recently, one
of such collections returned from the Etruscan Museum
in Rome (Italy), where from 2012 December until June the
most famous Lithuanian jewelers’ artworks were exhib-
ited. Now this exhibition is being shown in the Seimas
of the Republic of Lithuania, for the occasion of the
Lithuanian presidency of the Council of the Europe Union.
Virginija and Kazimieras are also planning to publish a
new book about amber. Maybe it will be something dif-
ferent, unusual, but very admissible?...

2000 PIECES OF JEWELLERY FOUND TRANSPORTED BY RUSSIANS ON THE BORDER2 JULY 2013
TWO Russians, travelling from Poland through the border checkpoint “Warsaw Bridge” on 2 July, were
thoroughly screened at Brest customs, Belarus.
The reason for this was their overly fussy behaviour when passing the “green channel”. At first sight, everything was
alright – there were only bags with personal items found in the cabin of the jeep. However, an in-depth inspection re-
vealed articles made of agate, sapphire, and other precious stones among these items.
Customs officers found pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and rings, in total amounting to over 2 thousand pieces. All
these articles were withdrawn and pre-evaluated for more than 11000 EUR.
