Our jewellery was doubly appreciated at Amberif Selection, the prestigious jewellery competition. Both our amber entries won first prize!

A2 Jewellery won the GRAND PRIX presented by Poland's Minister of Economic Development, Labour and Technology for our NEW BEGINNING amber pendant and the MTG SA Gdańsk International Fair Co. CEO's Award for our SEANIQUE amber rings. We are all the more happy because the judging panel with predominantly jewellery art experts considered the entries designed and made by Ryszard Węsierski the most outstanding in terms of both workmanship and design. Amberif Selection is a side event to the Amberif International Fair of Amber & Jewellery that all the Amberif participants can enter into, with the leading amber companies from all over the world participating. The competition supports entries that highlight amber's uniqueness, traditional handicraft, excellent workmanship and designer jewellery art. The winning entries promote both Amberif and the jewellery industry in global advertising campaigns.

It is widely known that Baltic amber goes perfectly with white and filmy wedding gowns. The amber and fashion show at Dubai Fashion Week was one more testament to this.

Contemporary Baltic amber jewellery by leading Polish manufacturers and designers, including A2 Jewellery, was presented to an international audience seeking high quality fashion thrills at the 10th Dubai Fashion Week. Amber earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings accessorised a collection of wedding and evening gowns designed by Diana Walkiewicz. In its modern incarnation, Baltic amber proved to be a massive surprise, best demonstrated by the round of applause received by the evening's final creation, a black evening gown richly embellished with multiple tints of amber. Our sincere congratulations go to Diana, was granted the Crystal Statuette of The Excellence Award in the Best Couture Designer Europe 2020 category." We are grateful that the natural beauty of Baltic amber has been appreciated and that it was presented to the international public in such a special and spectacular way.

Our FUTURA jewellery set won an honourable mention at Amberif Selection 2020 in the WORKMANSHIP EXCELLENCE category.

The set, a necklace and a ring, was designed and made by Ryszard Węsierski, A2 Jewellery's owner and chief designer. The natural white amber he used is very rare in nature, which makes it especially valuable. The designer recognised the stone's extraordinary beauty and, without intruding in it, masterfully made use of its natural indentations, a testament to amber's fascinating, over 40-mililon-year-long history. The subtle setting allows the amber to shine like a diamond.

Over 800 exhibits, mainly contemporary Baltic amber jewellery, promote Polish culture at the largest exhibition to date, titled Beauty Trapped in Time.

The goal of the exhibition organised by Sebastian Tajl, the originator of several shows in China to promote Polish culture and tourist attractions, is to build a positive image of our country through culture and handicraft. Pieces that our country can be proud of and the people of China value highly are given special emphasis. One of the more important of these items is contemporary Baltic amber jewellery, which is well-known and highly valued in the Middle Kingdom for its unique design. The popularity of the exhibition at the National Museum branch in Kunming, Yunnan Province, was evidenced by the media interest and the large number of visitors; it had an attendance of over 10,000 during its first two weeks, in spite of the pandemic restrictions. We are overjoyed with such a strong interest in Baltic amber in China and are very grateful for being invited to take part in this exhibition.

The gold, silver and moss CITY LIFE ring by Ryszard Węsierski won the Mercurius Gedanensis prize awarded by an international jury.

The DESIGN Category award is part of a competition with a goal is to single out jewellery designs that follow current fashion trends, feature impeccable jewellery technique and are a captivating export product of the Polish jewellery and amber industry. The judges appreciated our product for its "intriguing combination of applied art and nature as an invitation to further experimentation, for a modern view of amber and excellent execution." The prize-winning ring was Ryszard Węsierski's first conceptual piece to highlight the creative idea rather than the workmanship excellence that he had put a premium on before. The silver and amber symbolise big city modernity, while the moss is a semblance of nature, which we miss so much in the rush of city life and with which we have less and less in common. It's a small piece of nature you can always carry with you...

Several thousand art lovers have already seen and fallen in love with the exhibition on Baltic Amber. Heritage and Modernity on display at the Spazio SV gallery during the Art Biennale in Venice.

Baltic Amber. Heritage and Modernity presents the beauty of amber in its various incarnations, from natural specimens and inclusions, through exclusive handicraft, to contemporary art. It showcases the unique fossil resin which, in spite of many centuries of tradition, remains constantly attractive as a material for contemporary artists who specialise in jewellery and applied art. Although contemporary artists are always looking for new forms of expression, for example by combining amber with plastics and inspiring the entire amber community, we are especially happy about the unabated interest in classics in a new form. This is evidenced by our strong representation at the exhibition on handicraft traditions based on excellent technique to combine Baltic amber with traditional materials, such as gold or precious stones.

Every amber artist who's heard about the Amber Sphere award dreams of winning it. Why? Because it is given to the best jewellery design at Amberif by the students of the Institute of Jewellery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland.

The student jury noticed and appreciated a ring designed and made by Ryszard Węsierski out of a single irregularly faceted Baltic amber nugget. It was a very special jury because they looked at the entries through the lens of beauty and uniqueness with great sensitivity and independence. The verdict mentions that the award was given "for innovative design, modernist character and contemporary form." Our dream has come true: we have finally jointed the elite group of Amber Sphere winners that includes the finest Polish jewellery designers.

This extraordinary exhibition documents all the significant achievements in the area of contemporary amber jewellery, handicraft and design, with a special focus on quality.

On loan from museum and private collections, the over 300 items gathered at the exhibition in Gdańsk's European Solidarity Centre tell a comprehensive story of amber: from its origins to the present day, from pieces of raw amber and the inclusions preserved in them, through exclusive handicraft and innovative design, to contemporary art and successful marriages of amber and fashion. The exhibition's crème de la crème, as it were, includes the elaborate sculptures, top-class jewellery and winning entries from prestigious competitions, the work of the finest Polish and international artists, designers and craftspeople. We are grateful for the invitation to this remarkable exhibition and are happy that we can together build the brands of Polish amber and the city of Gdańsk, the World Capital of Amber.

Our BEIJING ring received the Best Amber Jewellery Award at the Ambermart International Amber Fair, Gdańsk, for its innovative form and for highlighting amber's beauty.

The ring was inspired by contemporary Chines architecture, hence the name BEIJING. It combines lightness, new technology, old-age metal and purity of technique. But most of all, it shows amber from a completely different angle than before to demonstrate how much more this 40 million-year-old stone has to offer.

The world has gone crazy for 3D processed amber. At A2, we have also decided to try our hand at it, straightaway to the best effect: the Solidscape Platinum Award for a Baltic amber ring designed by the A2 Jewellery Design Studio!

Solidscape is a competition with entries including the most creative and innovative jewellery and art product designs developed with cutting-edge 3D technology. Its European edition showcases the winning entries at the most prestigious Baselworld Basel Watch and Jewellery Show. The fact that jewellery designers from all over the world compete for its awards makes us all the more happy to be one of the winners.

The GAUDI bracelet designed by Ryszard Węsierski has won the Main Prize in the Best Amber Jewellery Award at the Ambermart International Amber Fair in Gdańsk.

Our entry was one of the 25 to compete for the Best Amber Jewellery Award. And only one could be the winner! The judges were ultimately persuaded by the bracelet's innovative quality, namely its creative use of Baltic amber, top-class finish, wearability and the story it holds. The bracelet's form was inspired by the organic architecture of Antonio Gaudi, the Catalan architect famed for his extraordinary designs. It was cut out of a 700-gram nugget in such a way that its surface lines would look like they were sculpted by nature itself. What also makes it special is that cutting out the middle part involved a very high risk of the amber breaking up, as it has a way of springing surprises when it is worked- This time, the only surprise was the prize 😊

In the DESIGN Category, the international jury of the Amberif 2016 Mercurius Gedanensis awarded the GRAND PRIX to A2 Jewellery for its THREE RINGS series.

Baltic amber is a unique material from which unique creations are made. Every nugget is different, with a different hue, as perfectly captured in this ring collection. They may all be of amber, but each one is distinct. The prize was granted in the Mercurius Gedanensis DESIGN Category, which acknowledges the most intriguing designs of jewellery intended for manufacture, made of assorted jewellery materials in combination with amber, in line with the current trends. The evaluation is based on artistic criteria, technical innovation and technical excellence.
