TheCooperative of Labor and Handicrafts "Rytosztuka" was established in Poznan in 1950. Rytosztuka's artists drew inspiration from the jewelry of Henryk Grunwald and the art-deco graphics of the 1930s. Jewelry with the RYT signature is most often characterized by a simple, massive form and solid workmanship achieved using casting or die-casting techniques. With the political transformation, Rytosztuka was transformed into a company, with Wojciech Kruk becoming its main shareholder. Rytosztuka products were sold in WKruk stores until 2007.
