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.

victory

Report by Dr. Jurgita LUDAVICIENE

T

he “Amber Trip” exhibition has been held for already ten years. No doubt, the emergence of this event was accompanied by high hopes, expectations and ambitions. One of the most intriguing ambitions was to exhibit an artistic program

alongside with the commercial exposure and producers’ profiles. This led to the emergence 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 confronting 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 digression 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 competition 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 special diplomas were awarded to Yuriy Bilkov ir Yuriy Velikotskij (Russia), Ela Pavinskiene (Lithuania), and Gerhard Helmer (Germany).

JEWELLERY ART CONTEST

LITHUANIAN JEWELLERY REPORT

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 personality, 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. http://www.pradasjewelry.com

AMBERMART – the 14th International Amber Fair

M

Report by AMBERMART Press Office

ore than 150 Polish and international companies 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 jewellery 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 buyers, who come to re-stock after the summer season with

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 identified 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.

“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 industrial 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 additional 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,”

peace and relaxation. Also this is Riga.

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 talisman 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.

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 question: 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

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 private orders for specific jewels. Also we have many companies which niche is making of ancient jewelry replica.

One niche is putting together jewelry supplies form China or other markets making different kind of accessories, 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.

Gemstone expertise has been handed down from generation to generation and now worldwide leading companies are calling the region their home. This expertise is concentrated 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 jewellery.

GERMAN JEWELLERY REPORT

Like in many other industries, gem and jewellery business 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 expect 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.

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 jewellery 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.

T

he 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 turmoil. 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 demand 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 vectors. There is nothing permanent. The Japanese proverb says that the one that fell must rise, and the one that rises will probably fall.

Treated and synthetic diamonds:

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THEM YOURSELF? PART 2. CVD synthetic diamond

Report by Jef Van ROYEN, HRD Antwerp – Research

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 instruments. In a series of short contributions we illustrate some cases in which this is possible.

Recently, several hundreds of undisclosed, near colourless, CVD synthetic diamonds of good clarity have been discovered on the Antwerp diamond market. Therefore the present contribution will concentrate on the identification of stones of this type.

CVD SYNTHETIC DIAMOND  Schematic view of a CVD synthetic diamond reactor.

Diamonds are grown from a carbon containing gas, e.g. a mixture of methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2). The gas molecules are broken up by heating them to the plasma state. Carbon atoms are deposited then in the form of diamond on monocrystalline diamond substrate plates.

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 diamonds are formed inside the earth. CVD synthetics are made using a totally different technology: stones are
