to learn more, view articles about amber and to visit links---many of them new and extremely enlightening and fascinating.

Myra, one of our customers from Virginia Beach, Virginia alerted me to this yesterday. Thank you Myra!!!

Jewel of the Earth will be shown at 8 p m on February 14 on our local PBS channel WVIA Channel 44. Check your local PBS television station for time and date (you may easily do this on the Nova Jewel of the Earth site).

I noticed that it will also be repeated during the month--I personally am hoping to catch it more than once!

About

Dorota Kos: Amber Artist

Baltic amber's beginnings, as the tears of a great tree, and the wood's ending--as an element of amber jewelry, capture many dimensions of time-- long ago past, recent past, the here & now. The wood, a living relative of the great trees that gave birth to amber, blends so naturally that one can barely discern where the amber ends & the wood begins. Beautiful amber is at its absolute best when combined with natural elements. All my life I lived in Gdansk, near Baltic seashore. Amber was always within reach of my hand...We need to remember that amber originated from trees many millions of years ago. The combination of wood with amber is... the past with the present... --Dorota Kos At Amberjewelry.com, we are proud and pleased to present to you our first "Amber & Wood DK Collection," designed by award-winning amber artist Dorota Kos of Gdansk, Poland. We hope you enjoy her love for her natural environment, the Baltic shore in Northern Poland & the amber that inspires her on a daily basis. Enjoy! --Andzia
