Contemporary amber
STRELNIK makes jewellery from Baltic amber. Earrings, rings, pendants, bracelets and brooches. Made in our own workshop since 2018.
We want amber to be worn every day, with a T-shirt or a coat. Something you keep reaching for. To get there, we stripped away the heaviness. What remains is the shape and colour of the amber.
The stone
We use only solid, natural Baltic amber. No two pieces are the same.
We work with it in two ways. By hand, we either keep a piece close to its natural shape or find its most interesting detail and carve out the form already hidden inside. A pair of earrings may then be slightly different. Many of our pieces are asymmetric: the stone determines the shape, not a template.
We also use the classic cabochon: a smooth, precisely shaped stone for designs where geometry matters. Here, the focus is on colour and depth.
The colour
Honey, milky, dark, green, textured, landscape: amber comes in many forms.
Some stones are heat-treated. We add nothing to them: heat works with the properties already present in the amber. Caramel and wine tones emerge, colours deepen, and the patterns inside become more pronounced.
We do not use dyes.
The hands
We make our core collection by hand in our own workshop, from the stone to the setting.
The amber is sorted, cut, polished and matched by colour. Our jewellers make a setting to fit each stone.
The next piece
One piece of jewellery, one stone. There is no other exactly like it, here or anywhere else.
A design may return with different amber. It will be a different piece.
The name
STRELNIK is a surname. Andrey Strelnik founded the brand in 2018. The son of an amber craftsman, he grew up with the material long before there was a brand.
