Ukraine is the world’s second largest industrial producer of this unique gemstone – told Halyna Symkha, Chairman of “Ukrainian Amber World” Association.

The presented works belong to the Association’s member Atr-studio “Ambra Simha” The mosaic amber panel “Pomegranate Tree”) “Shaki Pattern” (“Paisley Tree”) created by modern Ukrainian artists based on the patterns of Khans’ palace still preserved in the ancient town Shaki. Every masterpiece is an innovation combination of materials used in classic techniques according to the world’s trends. Folding screen “Tree of the Sun” combined three techniques: mosaic, stained glass, wood carving.
