During her opening remarks, Ambassador Magdalena Bogdziewicz emphasized the authenticity and both the esthetic and the investment value of Polish amber that is often combined with silver or gold. Along with the creative, distinctive design it is the high-end quality of jewellery work from Poland, being a result of the craftsmanship tradition passed down from generation to generation that attracts the interest of the most sophisticated customers in the world, also in Asia – she pointed out.
