Manhattan Skyline — Baltic Amber Chess Set | Handmade in New York by KIZIMA®

A skyline you can play. The KIZIMA® Manhattan Skyline chess set reimagines the classic game as a miniature cityscape — tapered towers, sleek cylinders and sharp obelisk "skyscrapers" rising like the silhouette of Manhattan at golden hour. The complete set — all 32 chessmen and the display board — is hand-poured and hand-finished from genuine Baltic amber in our Brooklyn, New York workshop.

Choose your set:

• Complete Set — Pieces & Board — all 32 chessmen and the amber chessboard (4,100 g / 144.6 oz of Baltic amber). The full Manhattan experience.
• Chess Pieces Only — 32 hand-finished pieces (16 cognac + 16 butterscotch), 700 g / 24.7 oz. Pair them with a board you already love.
• Amber Chess Board Only — the hand-poured amber board with alternating honey and cognac squares, 3,400 g / 119.9 oz. A rare offering: solid amber chessboards are almost never available on their own.

Two natural amber palettes define the two sides:

• Cognac amber — warm, honey-brown pieces rich with natural amber inclusions and golden flecks.
• Butterscotch / royal white amber — creamy, marbled pieces with soft ivory swirls, each one unique.

The board is crafted in the same technique: alternating honey and cognac amber squares with natural inclusions and a sculptural free-form edge, so the entire game glows like a city at sunset when the light passes through it.

Baltic amber heritage. KIZIMA® is the only U.S. manufacturer of Baltic amber art, carrying forward the centuries-old amber tradition of Königsberg. The Metropolitan Museum of Art keeps a 17th-century Königsberg amber chessboard in its permanent collection — the same heritage that inspires every KIZIMA® chess set, now handcrafted in America.
