Polish jewellers work Baltic amber and Silesian coal alongside gold, a wider palette than most countries offer their goldsmiths. BELLER Jewelry Workshop hand-sets diamond jewelry and recycles family gold into new designs from Warsaw and Cracow ateliers. Moja Forma Amber Shop shapes custom Baltic-amber pieces as a Gdańsk designer's studio. Pracownia bro.Kat works coal-and-silver jewelry that speaks of Silesian mining heritage. Amber is priced by origin; certified Baltic stone costs more, while the inclusions, held to the light, argue its age.
Pracownia bro.Kat, founded more than a decade ago in Katowice's Załęże district, sets real coal into silver for cufflinks, rings, and earrings, a nod to Silesia's old nickname for the mineral, "black gold." Bogna Polańska and her partner Roma run the studio from Gliwicka 188/3, a few blocks from the district's former mine workings.
Designer Marta Szafraniec casts brass and silver rings modeled on Katowice landmarks — the modernist "Kukurydze" apartment towers, the Spodek arena, and the Silesian Insurgents Monument — from her workshop in the city center. One porcelain piece in the collection is shaped after a traditional Silesian dumpling-pinching tool.

Independent art-jewellery atelier and gallery in Kraków's Kazimierz district, at 11 Józefa Street, run by designer Grzegorz Błażko. Pieces are handmade on site from sterling silver combined with acrylic in the studio's signature checkered pattern, with every ring, necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings individually finished.

Blazko Jewellery is an independent art-jewellery studio and gallery located at 11 Józefa Street in Kazimierz, Kraków's historic Jewish quarter, run by designer Grzegorz Błażko. Rather than outsourcing production, pieces are designed and handmade on site by Błażko and his small team, giving the atelier direct control over each stage of the process. The studio's work is built around sterling silver structures combined with acrylic detailing, with a recurring checkered pattern that functions as a recognizable signature across the collection. Production follows a multi-step handcraft process — building the silver framework, adding unrepeated acrylic patterning, then sculpting, grinding and polishing each piece by hand — meaning individual rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings vary slightly from one another rather than being produced as identical batches. The shop operates as both retail boutique and small gallery space within Kazimierz, a neighborhood known for antique shops, artisan studios and its concentration of historic synagogues, and is open daily with slightly reduced weekend hours. The combination of an on-site atelier and public-facing shop distinguishes it from jewellery retailers that only sell pieces made elsewhere.

Best for Jewellery, watches
W.KRUK's history begins in 1840, when Leon Skrzetuski opened a workshop in Poznan producing liturgical items and made-to-order jewelry. His nephew, Wladyslaw Kruk, took over the business in 1893 and became the first jeweler in the Poznan market to publish an illustrated catalog; in 1896 he opened the first salon under the W.Kruk name. The firm expanded into Swiss watch brands between the wars, modernized production starting in 1974, and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2003. It became Poland's official Rolex representative in 2004 and Poland's exclusive Patek Philippe representative in 2020. Today W.KRUK operates more than 160 stores across Poland.
