The Cloth Hall, one of Krakow's most splendid buildings, is a fitting host to this smart jewellery gallery. Even six hundred years ago it was a nexus for merchants selling their wares, and the city was especially famous for its artisans goods. The tradition is continued by the Mikolajczyki family, which showcases some of the very best Polish amber craftsmanship - much of it unique. Jewellery lovers are unlikely to be disappointed here and you can buy anything from a simple, understated silver and amber earring, much like a honey teardrop, (and very reasonably priced), to a stunning necklace inlaid with turquoise, pearls and of course amber, or a piece from the new gold and amber collection. The gallery also runs stalls 23, 29 and 36 inside the Cloth Hall.
