Today's hero began in the 80s, when there was a fashion for amber "eyes" in frames of blackened silver with floral motifs. During this period of drought on the market and the lack of modern works of jewelry art, the thought appeared about creating something groundbreaking. Jacek Baron introduced a combination of silver sculptural forms with modern designs, unprecedented, often caricatured sizes. Amber in these works complemented and underlined the form. The new approach to amber art has resulted in positive reviews both in Poland and abroad.
