Gdańsk Jewellery Week 2026: We Will Break the Polish Record in Amber Sanding!
On October 3, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., during Gdańsk Jewellery Week 2026 at Amber Expo in Gdańsk, the Polish record in amber sanding will be broken, according to the latest data we received from our registration office!
There are already far more of us than needed, but we want there to be even more... You cannot be missing. Register for free!
A natural nugget, three sandpapers and polishing paste
Each participant will receive a raw amber nugget with a hole, a set of sandpapers of increasing grit, a fleece cloth and polishing paste, as well as containers with water and paraffin, to finish a handmade necklace on a cord. The record requires that work begins synchronously and continues within the set time. At the end, participants will receive commemorative certificates, and a representative of the Records Office will officially announce the new Polish record in the simultaneous sanding of Baltic amber!
152 people
The current official record is 152 people, set on September 5, 2025, during Gdańsk Jewellery Week 2025. Those who took part in the event at Amber Expo included Lidia Popiel, Amber Ambassador, representatives of the city authorities, councilors, designers and craftspeople, Gdańsk patrician women, merchants, seniors and young people from the Zespół Szkół Kreowania Wizerunku. The record improved on an earlier, unofficial result of 95 people, set by members of the Aktywny Senior association on March 21, 2025, in Gdańsk on the first day of the world's largest fair, Amberif Spring 2025.
