Since 1946, the crafting of silver jewellery has been our passion, destiny and way of life.
Across four post-war decades, the dynamic duo of Jadwiga and Jerzy Zaremski forged the phenomena of creating artistic jewellery from silver.
They were indeed the forerunners of the trend and helped elevate it to the rank of High Art. In 1962, a solo jewellery exhibition by the Zaremski husband and wife team in ZACHĘTA, the celebrated Polish arts gallery, was the catalyst for incorporating jewellery into the field of applied arts.
As prolific artists, they set trends and met workshop challenges head-on, continuously striving to perfect and develop innovative techniques and create new ways to promote the art of design.

Numerous award winners in their home country and abroad, they led the way and opened doors for other creators of art, including their three sons, Tomasz, Marcin and Łukasz who helped launch the Zaremski Brand of silversmiths.
Marcin Zaremski, has successfully continued on the family path. Surrounded by jewellery from an early age and brought up in a house permeated with art and the sense of aesthetics, it was only natural for him to have the instinct for craft and design, deeply instilled in him.
In 1974 he was awarded a diploma from the Faculty of Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and immediately joined his parents in the family business.
In his designs, he puts emphasis on quality techniques, precision and above all, in creating pieces which combine beauty with the functionality of the final product. The result captures the aesthetics of minimalism, which he has consistently embraced for almost half a century.
Over the past 20 years Marcin has been accompanied and supported on this journey by his son Mateusz.
For three generations the Zaremski Brand has been created with passion and relentless enthusiasm, which celebrates a strong family history that looks boldly to the future.
