Barbara Westwood was a special guest at Amberif 2009. She and her husband and business partner, Sky Hall, spent three weeks in Poland traveling between Gdansk, the center of the Baltic amber industry and home of Amberif, and Krakow, the cultural center of Poland.

Prior to her trip, Barbara created a line of amber jewelry, much of it focused on variations of the heart. She calls amber an excellent color for fashion, and it goes well with other gemstones and precious metals.

In Barbara's first amber collection she has highlighted amber with diamonds, 18K gold, quartz, citrine and mother of pearl.
