Top Amber - a book published by the International Amber Association, edited by a great designer and lecturer PhD Slawomir Fijalkowski. Top Amber is the first album to provide such a comprehensive documentation of contemporary jewellery with amber. A clear division into three separate chapters on art, design and fashion allows the reader to find the appropriate reference points for many stylistic trends, names and developments which characterise Baltic amber, one of Poland's most attractive export hits in recent years. The album contains almost 140 photographs of significant designs and works by top Polish and European artists and designers in a clear layout.
This is a must-have, both for many amber connoisseurs and for a broader audience, for whom this album will become a key to unlock the mysteries of the contemporary, avant garde and still not yet widely known nature of the Gold of the North.
